| dc.description | A brief description on the History of West Africa covered the period from the earliest times to 1800. It's emphasis was on the theme of state formation and the development of social and political institutions. Outside influencers such as the penetration of Islam into the savannah region and of Europeans from the coastal areas played an increasingly important but never predominant role. | |
