Heya

Does anyone know if any African countries/ empires colonised any regions of europe or Asia?

If they didn't are there any reasons? or were african empires just more friendly??

I'm just wondering, there's nothing on google.


:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Thanks


They've colonised parts of London quite well.

Bcause they knew that if they waited long enough liberals would invite them all over to colonize Europe without having to fight for it. Why struggle when you don't have to?


Excellent answer. It is sad how the white race has turned on itself and is eating itself alive, slaying its own members for having a racial loyalty and inviting other to cuckold us with open arms. The white race is the only with of which the people think it makes them "enlightened and morally superior" to be indifferent or even in support of their own extinction and hybridization with other groups, even if those other groups are vastly different in aesthetics. It's almost as if Europeans have no pride or attraction to their pretty pale skin; blonde/brown/red hair; blue/green/hazel/light brown eyes; flowing hair; thin lips and pointy noses. I will not be surprised if every European football team is 100% by the year 2060.

They colonized other african territories. i also dont think the africans were as advanced.
Although the Moors were in Spain, Italy, Southern France for over 1,000 years.


The Moors were largely Arabs, not black, sub-Saharan Africans.

All homo-sapiens (humans) are from Africa originally. So they did colonise Europe and everywhere else. It is just that this was in a time of nomadic hunter gatherer foraging, where agriculture wasn't really a thing and civilisation hadn't been developed.
Not sure if this came out right. :s-smilie:

Regardless of this, there is always the moors and the Egyptians.


No, Africans did not colonize Europe hundreds of thousands of years ago as there were no other humans there to colonize.
Europeans developed a much better navy, African ships were mainly used for trade

The thread title says "Africans"
Modern history says Africans didn't conolise europe but ancient histpry shows africans did explore and this can be seen with discovery of old skeletons of Africans in parts of Europe

what you have to remember is not every culture wants to colonise but rather explore.

Alexandra the Great didn't colonise all the countries he visited but shared ideas, clothes and food

Actually, the only parts of Italy which were occupied on a permanent basis by Muslims from North Africa were located in Sicily (for about 200-250 years, mainly between 831 and 1098) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirate_of_Sicily

however, many Italian coastal towns were occupied temporarily, or raided (even the suburbs of Rome) and hundreds of thousands of people were kidnapped and sold as slaves on the markets in Algiers, Tunis, Morocco

In fact, mostly Berbers (Amazigh), not Arabs
Wow you guys clearly do not know your own history. Europe had the widest variety of animals, how?It’s in Europeans interest to hide African history. The first university was built in Timbuktu by the richest man in history Mansa Musa. These structures have been copied by Europe. Just do your history and don’t expect people who have not looked up African history to help answer your questions. Africans were royalty in Africa and built their own civilisations until Europeans came to steal, rape, torture and divide the continent for their own gain. Sudan and Egypt were of the same people, they would trade between each other and there’s actually more pyramids in South Sudan. If you don’t know the history please do not talk about it. Saying Africans were not civilised was just a way of excusing why they were stealing and mutilating Africans by millions. Learn your history.

Mansa Musa reigned from 1280-1337.

Many universities had been established well before he was even born. Some even in Africa. As you say, know your history...

Well...considering that they did not invent the wheel by the time the colonizers came I think it was difficult to them to conquer the europe.
Ancient Egypt is a complete different entity altogether and as far as I know it did not have that great fleet.

Carthage doesn’t count because it was a colony of the Phoenicians that were from the Middle East in ASIA!!
If no one has mentioned the Moors... The Moors.

you react to stereotypes by stating new stereotypes

history is much more complex than that

The Europeans didn't copy any 'university structure' from Timbuktu because there was no cultural influence from Africa over Europe by the time European universities (or even modern education systems) were borning, not to mention other institutions such as the Academy or the Lykeion were much older than the Timbuktu itself and by no doubt they influenced the later science.

Spreading unverified propaganda will get us to nowhere, except to a war eventually.

exactly ! There was no motive or impetus for Africans to colonise other continents the reasons being we didnt have to migrate from place to place , we had everything we needed food was relatively in abundance, water wasnt scarce, weather and climate was on our side and we had sufficient habitats . unlike say European harshh climates of winter and snow which are one of the fundamental reasons they Europeans sought to explore other areas.
Because google earth wasnt invented .
Because spears and bows don't fare very well against guns, and rafts don't fare very well against ships of the line.
