Yaw, Your history is fine! I note two things: The fate of empires is especially interesting because of the very frequent references Richard Wolff makes to the American Empire as one in decline. What happens when power fades and is lost? The other thing is the use of Starlink by insurgents in the Sahel and its overwhelming effect on the (military) rulers of the countries. I wonder if the borders established by colonial powers will be in place in the next century. African societies may have entirely new borders in the future, with political entities shifting as they have before the 19th Century.

Fascinating! Nothing I love more than historical contexts.
