Yes yes yes. I’ve searched this up, and most of the answers seem to be the ‘Guns, Germs, and Steel’ answer.
However. That doesn’t explain my question tho.
Since the end of WW2, African nations not only had the world’s technology at their hands, but also abundant natural resources. In addition to the considerable aid they receive.
For e.g. South Korea half a century ago were considerably poorer than almost every African nation, and never had any industry, natural resources, or democracy.
Now South Korea is one of the most democratic and wealthiest countries on Earth.
Why is it that Africa failed to develop with the worlds technology at their disposal and abundant natural resources?
