Africa Maps & Quizzes

It is impossible to study the borders of African countries without reflecting on the fascinating and often tragic history of the continent that caused those border to become as they are today. Be sure to look at the world map regions to know which countries will be on the 1st quiz for North Africa and which will be on the 2nd quiz for “sub-saharan” Africa. In my experience, African countries can be very difficult to learn because there are many and we tend to have the least experience in talking about them. I would suggest that because of this it is even more important that we learn the geography of Africa.
