Africa's population in 1800 and 1900

[Fobnimo Till I Dhimo]

The continent of true laangaabs, gahhhhhdamn

If the population of Africa was this low in the 1800s and 1900s, i wonder what the population of Somalia was

We would be around 200,000 - 400,000 range, Ethiopia was setting around 3,000,000 around the 1800's.

Well rn Africa has a growing population. One that's become an environmental concern.

If we were that small in number imagine how laangaab we were when Islam reached us and If we keep going back a few centuries before Islam, we are almost nonexistent

It makes you wonder, how long have we really existed?

The reason why Africa got colonised.

Somalia by 1900 had a population of 1.5 million, however if you count Djibouti, Galbeed, Hararghe, and NFD it would reach around 2 million.

The reason why Africa got colonised.

With a population of nearing 2 million, Somali sultanates and polities had to defend 3000 km of coastline stretching the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, as well as around a million km of land against centralized colonial empires with a combined imperial population above 400 million (British, Italians, and French) and all the resources and human capital that came with it. It’s very impressive that we held out until the 1920s.

You're looking at this the wrong way, there was a sizable population decline after the Futah, either through famine, war or assimilation, for our size we had control over a sizable amount of land comparable to western Europe.

Fr Somalis back in the day were on smoke 24/7

Had we gotten a population boom We literally would've owned Africa.

It's truly a miracle to me how we've managed to hold onto so much land with such a small population. We've kept the sea-hungry monsters at bay

 

[Chaseyourdreamzz]

The reason the Europeans colonized Africa is because of the population disparity at the time Europeans had a numbers advantage

Somalis have the most camels in the world they require a lot of grazing land

 

[Fobnimo Till I Dhimo]

We were fighting the Europeans decades before that, though yes due to the fall of the Ottomans a lot of Muslim countries got colonized.

Maybe Africa wasn't where all life begundiscovering empty lands cuz your camels wandered too far is crazy we could have probably taken more land considering how empty Africa was at the time and i doubt our African ''brothers'' would have been able to do anything about it kkkkkkkkk
