talk about the colonization, and particularly, what happened when they left. When they left, because the africans wanted freedom, they took all of the educated people with them. They basically left (through various means) the africans with no experience in running their own country, no education, no recourses, no help, etc. Corruption quickly sprang up, lots of civil wars and discontent ensued. Good luck with the essay! Hope that helped a bit!

Today Nubia is the region in the south of Egypt, along the Nile and in northern Sudan, but in ancient times it was an independent kingdom.\n\nNubian Wedding near Aswan, Egypt\nIts people spoke at least two varieties of the Nubian language group, a Nilo-Saharan subfamily which includes Nobiin, Kenuzi-Dongola, Midob and several related varieties in the northern part of the Nuba Mountains in South Kordofan. A variety (Birgid) was spoken (at least until 1970) north of Nyala in Darfur but is now extinct. Old Nubian was used in mostly religious texts dating from the 8th and 9th centuries AD. It is considered ancestral to modern day Nobiin.\n\nPre-history\nThe earliest cultures of Nubia left no writings and are unreported in the annals of other nations. The first noticeable cultures in Nubia include first the Badarian culture, then the Amratian and finally the Gerzean. From the Gerzean the first native culture developed known as the A-Group, which began roughly at the same time as the First dynasty of Egypt around 3100 BC. It consisted of semi-nomadic groups who subsided by herding sheep, goats, and some cattle. It is known from its distinctive burial rituals and pottery. Prehistoric tools discovered in Nubia date to circa 65,000 BC, found along the Nile Valley.\nThis culture began to decline in the early-28th century BC. The succeeding culture is known as B-Group. Previously, the B-Group people were thought to have invaded from elsewhere. Today most historians believe that B-Group was merely A-Group but far poorer. The causes of this is uncertain, but it was perhaps caused by Egyptian invasions and pillaging that began at this time.\nAs trade between Egypt and Nubia increased so did wealth and stability. By the Egyptian 6th dynasty, Nubia was divided into a series of small kingdoms. There is debate over whether these C-Group peoples, who flourished from c. 2240 BC to c. 2150 BC, were another internal evolution or invaders. There are definite similarities between the pottery of A-Group and C-Group, so it may be a return of the ousted Group-As, or an internal revival of lost arts. At this time, the Sahara Desert was becoming too arid to support human beings, and it is possible that there was a sudden influx of Saharan nomads. C-Group pottery is characterized by all-over incised geometric lines with white infill and impressed imitations of basketry.\nA contemporaneous but distinct culture from the C-Group was the Pan Grave culture, so called because of their shallow graves. The Pan Graves are associated with the East bank of the Nile, but the Pan Graves and C-Group definitely interacted. Their pottery is characterized by incised lines of a more limited character than those of the C-Group, generally having interspersed undecorated spaces within the geometric scheme.\nFrom the C-Group culture, the first kingdom to unify much of the region arose, the Kingdom of Kerma, named for its presumed capital at Kerma. When Egyptian power revived under the New Kingdom they began to expand southwards. By the end of the reign of Thutmose I in 1520 BC, all of northern Nubia had been annexed.

Dutch territory was widely expanded during the 19th century and early 20th century until a territory was formed that become known as the Dutch East Indies. This territory is now the independent nation state of Indonesia. The Netherlands where, by then, the colonial power with the largest Muslim population in the world. The bureaucratic system needed to govern this territory was expensive, whilst the Dutch elite was determined to earn money rather than lose it. This let to an exploitation of the 'Inlander', aboriginal (Indonesian) population. Some Inlanders demanded independence during the years between the first and second world wars. The Netherlands government was keen to grant independence, but only once the nation had become 'civilized enough' from the Dutch viewpoint.\n\nThe Netherlands were the last European country to abolish slavery. The Black people in Suriname were replaced by cheaper Hindus and Muslims from British India. Suriname had a mixed Black and Hindustani population until the 1970s. This once rich colony hit poverty during the years between the two world wars. During the Second World War, however, the economy developed as the American army bought extensive stocks of aluminium from Suriname in order to enhance their aircraft-building programme.

depends on wat u mean by history:\nI think that mid east/africa have the oldest written history, but that written history has not been consistent. \n\nIf you mean longest consistent written history, then id go with asia(probably China specifically) because the longest is most likely Mesopotamia(Iraq)

Its as old as known history. The earliest civilations practiced it back even in Mesopotamia (which is older than Egypt). It was not created by the "white devil" that you hear about today. \n\nI do wonder how many blacks in America would be willing to go back in time and stop the importation of their ancestors...Hmmm, Africa has aids, drought, pestilence, civil wars, ethnic genocide, and no economy. America sounds pretty good after all!

Mozambique joined the Commonwealth in 1995. One of the reasons being that at the time it was surrounded by Commonwealth members (this is no longer true as Zimbabwe isn't in the Commonealth anymore) and much or its tradea nd business was done with members of the commonwealth. Also the Commonwealth provides assistance in many areas, which mozmabique has been able to take advangtage of. It is an interesting anomoly though but there must be something in it as Cameroon and Namibia have also joined the commonwealth and were never British colonies (in the full sense).
