So Africa is China's California. Whoa. I hope this time around, the Africans aren't the Indians.

How much do you know about the history of Africa and relations with Europe over the past few hundred years?

Or the history of California, for that matter. By the time Native American tribes in California made contact with the invaders, the United States was decades away from becoming an independent country. By the time America and Mexico went to war, 90% of them had already died due to diseases spread by Russian fur traders and Spanish missionaries.
