When it came to East Africa's shortcomings, its civilization had developed for too short a time. Before East Africa, not a single decent modern state had existed across the whole of Africa.
Before East Africa, Egypt had been the top student among Africa's regions, but under the matching system of the Eurasian regions, Egypt simply could not compete with the other blocs.
Therefore, after East Africa became Africa's most representative great power, the most important thing it had to do was make up for lost lessons. This was also the basic logic behind East Africa's rapid transformation from a great power into a true world power through immigration, industrial development, infrastructure construction, and other means.
The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries could be called the African continent's last favorable wind. If the countries on the African continent failed to rise rapidly during this period, then when facing the Western world's encirclement and suppression in the future, they would basically never have another chance.
East Africa was the country that had suddenly appeared and led the African continent into the top-tier match. Yet when East Africa took over most of Southern Africa, just how poor the conditions were could easily be imagined.
From the perspective of human civilization's development, Sub-Saharan Africa in the latter half of the nineteenth century still possessed a level of civilization from at least five thousand years earlier.
After all, by then the Far East Empire and the Middle East had already developed relatively mature agricultural civilizations, and many regions had moved from primitive society into slave society.
Thus, when the East African colony was established, it was truly poor and blank as a sheet—the sort that would have made even the new government of the Far East Empire in 1949 weep at the sight of
