Arbitrary country borders in Africa are a result of the European colonial powers' division of the continent at the Berlin Conference in 1884-1885. These borders often did not take into account local ethnic, linguistic, or cultural differences, leading to various challenges for the newly formed nations post-independence.
There were no country's as such in Africa the borders that are found there now are a result if imperialist borders. from a European point of view there was no development in Africa other then warrior tribes controlling loosely defined areas .
Most of Africa's borders today were largely shaped during the colonial period, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when European powers partitioned the continent without regard for existing ethnic, cultural, or political boundaries. The Berlin Conference of 1884-85 facilitated this scramble for Africa, leading to arbitrary borders that often split ethnic groups or grouped hostile communities together. As a result, many of the borders established during colonization remain in place today, contributing to ongoing conflicts and challenges in nation-building.
If this question were asked before 2011, it would be answerable. At that time, Sudan was the largest country in Africa, making ALGERIA the second largest country in Africa and since Algeria is on the Mediterranean Sea, it would satisfy both conditions.In 2011, Sudan broke into Sudan and South Sudan. This meant that Algeria became the largest country in Africa and the second-largest became the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is nowhere near the Mediterranean. As a result, currently, there is no country that is both (1) the second-largest country in Africa AND (2) a country on the Mediterranean Sea.
Oh, the horrors of colonialism and post-colonialism! 19th-century colonization by the European powers is largely responsible for the African borders we know today. As these borders were the result of land grabs by the Europeans, they did not always respect native ethnic and tribal boundaries, and these arbitrary borders are still causing problems now, in the 21st century.
Africa
of course it will. Take Romania and Africa for instance
That was in Rwanda
Up until 2011 Sudan had been the largest country in Africa. In July 2011 part of Sudan became independent to form a new country called the Republic of South Sudan, and making Sudan itself smaller. The result of this is that Algeria is now the largest country in Africa, and Sudan is now the third largest.
No. Ottoman/Turkish borders were changed as a result of World War I in general and the Treaties of Sevres and Lausanne, but not as a result of the Armenian genocide in particular.
