∙ 15y agoAfrican music has influenced our culture's music in shaping what we listen to today.Many genres of popular music today can trace their roots directly back to African songs and rhythms. For example:•Blues- Emerged at the end of the 19th century as a form of self-expression for African-Americans, who were captured in Africa and brought over to America to become slaves. From spiritual songs, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants were sung during a hard day's work. Blues Music has descended from African-American people's music to become a popular genre of music that many people listen to today.•Jazz-originated form the beginning of the 20th centaury in African American communities after they were freed form slavery. Jazz uses improvisation, polyrhythms, and melodic patterns, which are also commonly used in African music.

∙ 12y agoThe European settlers that got colonised Africa used the difference in religion to support the wars between the native Africans living there. Now this is were this com manly asked question had got tern so famous. Some people calmed that even if they be lived the same religion they would have a norther re-son to start a war. The main support that they calmed for this was that even when they converted them to christian they still fond another re-son to start another war or discrimination of some kind like for example in South Africa a Dutch company came to South Africa to put a deck for the ships from Europe that are going to India as a place to rest 'collect corgargo'help the sick' Exocera which had taken the native land so this caused political differcelty between the natives and the company which made a war have to go by to get the land and they said the reason for starting the war and the all the discriminating that started it all was religion but later they were converted to Christianity by force but the apartate still remanded until nelson Mandel's re-lees in 1990 but be-for that there excuse was that they were Communist. On the other side of it some claim that that's what started it all. I believe that the only impact religion had was a reason to do whats wrong which was just the reason they chosen to use but people believing this forced them to make the native people christians and that did to stop the discriminating but it did help but spread the new Weston religion (from {Qwerty the first})

What affect did geography have on trade and cultural diffusion in Africa and Asia?
Geography played a significant role in shaping trade and cultural diffusion in Africa and Asia. The presence of natural barriers such as deserts, mountains, and oceans influenced trade routes and connections between different regions. In Africa, the Sahara desert limited interactions between North and sub-Saharan Africa, while in Asia, the Himalayas served as a barrier between South and East Asia. However, these geographic features also led to the development of diverse cultures and trade networks as societies adapted to their environments.
