1800 - Europe had 1.7x as many people as Africa which allowed Europe to conquer Africa.

Africa: 90 million
Europe: 150 million

1900 - Europe had 3.3x as many people as Africa and Africa remained under European control.

Africa: 120 million
Europe: 400 million

1960s-1970s - African countries begin to become independent from European rule.

1990s - At some point in the 90s, Africa’s population catches up to Europe.

2000 - Africa was independent and had more people than Europe.

Africa: 830 million
Europe: 520 million

2026 - Today Africa has twice the population of Europe, but is still much poorer.

Africa: 1,500 million
Europe: 750 million

2100 - Africa will have roughly 10x the population of Europe.

Africa: 4,000 million
Europe: 360 million

What will happen between Europe and Africa the 22nd century? 🤔

If a 1.7x population advantage is enough to colonize a continent for 200 years and dominate the world economy, and dominate technologically and militarily, then what does a 10x population advantage mean?

It’s a question!

Imagine this:

But the other way around, and 5 times worse.
