The history of mankind is about the history of warfare, and most history is recorded by conquerors or colonizers. The history of Africa and more specifically the North African region has been largely ignored by scholars. (Lesson, 8/6) The countries of the North African region, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia and the disputed territory of Western Sahara (Lesson, 8/6) is generally understood as a poor, weak, insignificant country, uncivilized. However, these countries have played a significant role in influencing other regions of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, with their religion, science, cultural ideas, politics, trade, and more.

The Islamic world today remains a vast land stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with a major presence in Europe and America. (Lesson 8/6) Colonized for a long time, North African countries wish to live in peace with both the West and the East but at the same time not be dominated by them.
