The term "Dark Continent" was used by Europeans and Americans in the 19th century to describe Africa largely due to their lack of knowledge and understanding of the continent's cultures, societies, and geography. It reflected a perception of Africa as mysterious and unexplored, often associated with a sense of danger and the unknown. Additionally, the term carried connotations of ignorance and savagery, which were rooted in colonial attitudes and racial stereotypes of the time. Overall, it was a Eurocentric viewpoint that overlooked the rich histories and civilizations present in Africa.
