Foreign empires in Africa:
Carthage
Assyria
Persia
Macedonia(Alexander)
Napoleon
Ottomans
Moors
Foreign empires who attempted to invade Sub-Saharan Africa:
Moors (with gunpowder; failed to invade)
Carthage opted to take over the Greeks
Why isn't Sub-Saharan Africa successful? <- Why are these threads being created?
Why did every empire that had the chance, forgo the opportunity to take over the much weaker/smaller african states/tribes in their "resource rich" areas of the continent to fight for resources elsewhere. There is a reason that maps of Africa were limited-shit trade routes, crossing a desert to get malaria and have the horse you rode in on die isn't a fun trip.
The agriculture is shit and its always been a shitty place to live that any world power would have forgone the opportunity to take it over until the colonial period where there was extreme pressure to acquire property.

diseases like malaria didn't get very far out of sub saharan africa and raped european settlers in the 19th century, and presumably other invaders. theres also the massive jungle right in the middle that has no comparison in north africa, europe, or the middle east. the jungle in myanmar acted as a barrier that kept the indians out of southeast asia, and the jungle in africa probably acted as a similarly impenetrable thing.

Why not use boats to float around the jungle
>>
>>3040702
thats what they did in heart of darkness, but imagine trying to bring large amounts of supplies down shallow rivers while disease carrying mosquitoes bite you and your crew. its a several day journey and the river can't practically hold more than a small boat with a few people on it. the jungle is like a wall, and if anything happens to you no help can or will come. any settlers would be very isolated from larger settlements and they wouldn't have the technology to clear large amounts of trees without lots and lots of people that would need to be fed and housed.

it would also be very difficult to even communicate, as passing boats would be the only way to deliver messages.

Why not try making an argument instead of whining about something that hasn't occurred yet.

You don't starve in a topical area if you keep your population in check (you know like by being a bunch of tribal warriors).
Same reason Cuba is still around and ticking when the USSR failed decades ago.

You sure it wasn't trade/humanitarian aid/the ability to actually grow staple crops better
