Why don't white people want to colonize Africa on a large scale?

Before Columbus discovered the new continent of America, the Sahara desert was all black and black countries, the north of the Sahara desert was a white country, and then North America was an Indian country.

After a hundred years of European colonial movement, North America has changed from an Indian country to a white-dominated country, but sub-Saharan countries are still black-dominated countries. Many people are curious, why didn't white people colonize Africa on a large scale?

Climatic factors The major colonial countries in Europe are all located in Western Europe. For example, the climate of Britain and France is mostly temperate and maritime. The African continent is located in the tropics and the Asian Games tropics, and belongs to the tropical rain forest climate and the tropical grassland climate. Because the climate in Africa is very different, it is difficult for Europeans to adapt to the African environment.

Moreover, in the era of great navigation, most parts of Africa were primitive jungle areas, where lions, leopards and wild animals were rampant and mosquitoes were breeding. The colonists were either injured by wild animals or died of illness. Due to the backward medical technology in Europe in the era of great navigation, the colonists could not treat the diseases committed in Africa at all, which is also the reason why Africa's development is relatively backward.

Africa is not rich. European colonists sailed because trade with eastern countries was blocked. As a result, western European countries have opened up new routes from the sea and sought new channels for trade with India.

In the eyes of European colonists, the United States is rich in wealth, with gold mines and plots suitable for growing crops. Therefore, many Europeans like to immigrate to America, the first is to seek gold, and the second is to transport blacks from Africa to America, develop plantations and develop agriculture, and plunder the wealth of America.

But in contrast, only South Africa in Africa has a large number of gold mines and diamonds, and other places are not rich in resources, so there are many whites in South Africa and few whites in other African countries. It is also because the colonists were not interested in Africa in the era of great navigation, and not many white people were willing to immigrate.

Three topographical factors Most of the inland terrain in Africa is dominated by plateaus, and there is a narrow plain beside the highway. The gap between the plateau and the plain is very large, and it is easy to form the largest waterfall in Nicaragua.

Africa's coastline is also very straight, lacking natural ports. In addition, there are waterfalls on the river, which is not conducive to the landing of European colonial ships, nor is it conducive to colonial rule going deep inland.

This terrain in African countries is not conducive to economic growth, but it also hinders the invasion of European colonists to some extent.

4. Population factors In sub-Saharan Africa, the number of blacks is relatively large, and all places in Africa where people can live are inhabited by blacks.

However, there are fewer Indians in America. Indians all live in mountainous areas where diseases are rare. When Europeans colonize Africa, conflicts will inevitably break out with blacks, and the cost of rule will be more.

But if European colonists colonize America and many plains in America are uninhabited, the cost of white rule will naturally be less.
