Why are so many french speaking countries in Africa?
It is actually very simple. Since France at one time was among the world's colonial powers along with Spain,Britain,Portugal,etc... According to the Berlin Conference in 1885, France was alloted portions of Africa, in northern, western, as well central Africa and the some of the islands as well. In colonial times, the colonists' language was the official language, this was useful in terms of communication with people of different ethnic groups, kingdoms, tribes,etc... Thus in French colonial Africa, "LE FRANCAIS" was the official language. This was taught in schools, mission facilities by priests mainly to indigenous Africans. France was more thorough in spreading its culture and language more than Britain for example. There are more French-speaking people in Africa than elsewhere actually. Belgium also used French as the official language in its colonies Congo DRC, Rwanda,Burundi. Although in Belgium French and Flemish(Dutch) are official. Thus the Congo DRC, today is probably the largest French-speaking nation, if not it's second after France. I hope I made everything clear now!
