Map Description:
This map outlines several of the important African kingdoms and empires, as well as groups of people, in northern Africa circa 1750-1770 (Ehret). During this time, European influence on the continent was widespread; trade and conquest were flourishing under the colonial powers. In the east, Ottoman Empire power was beginning to fail in Egypt, and many of the Arab groups that had once been under their rule broke away. Along the Atlantic coast, many of those involved with European trade prospered, especially Morocco.
