What kind of food do people eat in the African Savannah?
As Africa is a large continent, is inhabited by just over a billion people and covers a great geographic and socioeconomic range it is almost impossible to say "what Africa eats".
Cultural as well as geographic locality would play a strong role in what food stuff are produced and consumed within a specific local.
However, much of Africa is relatively undeveloped, and for this reason it is safe to assume that the bulk of foods are unprocessed and come from primary agriculture.
These would include basic/ staple foods such as:
Meats:
Goat, Lamb, Beef, Pork, Chicken and fish
Grains:
Corn/ Maize, Wheat, Rice, Sorghum (as well as grain products such as bread)
Vegetable's:
Beans, Eggplant, Tomato, Potato, Cassava, Cabbage, Peppers
Fruit:
Mango's, Dates, Papayas
Drink:
Milk (from various sources), Water, Juice

Why and how did the US acquire American Samoa?
In the early 18th century French explorers tried to take over the islands. In the 1889 Germany invaded Samoa and (in the process) destroyed American property. The U.S then sent 3 warships to battle Germany but were met by a cyclone which wiped out most battleships on both sides. Because of this, the 2 countries came to an agreement and in 1899 the Samoan islands were divided between the U.S who took American Samoa (then known as Eastern Samoa) and Germany who took Samoa (then known as Western Samoa). The U.S expanded Pago Pago into a full naval station and secured a Deed of Cessation of Tutuila in 1900. To this day, American Samoa is known as an unincorporated territory of America, and now have their own Governor and First Lady (this came into effect in 1967). "SAMOA" on the other hand has never been acquired by the U.S and has been an "independent" nation since 1962. Independent, in that the country has its own government, Head of State and currency (American Samoa uses US dollars).
The clash between Germany and America over the Samoan islands eventually resulted in?
