Alright… I do have an issue right out of the gate… I think Europeans (especially people in southern Europe) were familiar enough with Africa to know that west Africa was wealthy with gold and salt… Southern Europe was the most wealthy, powerful, and connected of kingdoms at this time, and there was STILL an ongoing war for control of the Iberian peninsula with the Islamic kingdoms (who were slowly being pushed out)…
But overall, a decent overview of colonization of that continent.
