Africa
In this unit we will explore a history of Africa and its people spanning from the mid 1800's through today. African colonization will make up the majority of the unit however we will also focus on more modern events that have roots in colonization. In addition we will discuss how this continent is connected with other areas of our study (e.g. East Asia, South Asia, and Latin America).
