Display highlights

Africa's borders were primarily determined by the 1884-1885 Berlin Conference, disregarding natural terrains and historical boundaries.
Examples include the straight-line border between Egypt and Sudan, The Gambia's narrow enclave within Senegal, Cabinda's separation from Angola, the Caprivi Strip for a failed transport route, and Lesotho's mountain stronghold.
The names of countries like Guinea and Congo in Africa have historical significance tied to European colonization and local kingdoms.
