isn't that basic ?

Basic?...You're addressing hypothetical circumstances. Hypothetical as in non-existent. You're making a claim history would have taken a certain route under assumed circumstances. What is interesting, is that you seem to be 100% convinced in something that never happent. There is an infinite number of factors that could influence Africa's fate had the circumstances been different even to the slightest extent, from the historical course of occurrence.

ok, if you want to be that picky about it... there is a real good chance Africa wouldn't have been left alone. happy ?
I TO DA GEEZY:
Yeah, such statement is less radical.

true i'm certain Africa wouldn't have been left alone for the simple fact that, at the time, no land was safe from being conquered.
