Asia is often considered the continent that was home to the most early civilizations. Notable early civilizations such as Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and ancient China developed significant cultural, technological, and social advancements. These civilizations laid foundational aspects of governance, trade, and urbanization that influenced future societies.
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, European colonies in the Western Hemisphere were experiencing significant upheaval due to a wave of independence movements. Inspired by Enlightenment ideals and the success of the American Revolution, colonies in regions such as Latin America began to seek autonomy from European powers like Spain and Portugal. This led to a series of revolutions, resulting in the establishment of independent nations across the continent. The decline of European colonial authority was marked by both political change and social unrest, fundamentally reshaping the geopolitical landscape of the region.
The continent that is often regarded as the cradle of early civilization is Asia, particularly in the regions of Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) and the Indus Valley (in present-day Pakistan and northwest India). These areas saw the rise of some of the first complex societies, characterized by the development of writing, agriculture, and urban centers around 3500 to 3000 BCE. Other early civilizations, such as those in ancient Egypt and the Chinese dynasties, also began on this continent, contributing significantly to human history.

Africa was the continent most divided by European imperial expansion, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 formalized the partitioning of Africa among European powers, leading to the establishment of arbitrary borders that disregarded ethnic and cultural boundaries. This division resulted in significant political and social upheaval, impacts that are still felt in many African countries today.
