Quotes by H.L. Wesseling (?)

“Europeans had been colonizing America, Asia, and the antipodes for centuries before they set their sights on Africa. This was because the continent was so disease-ridden, and because the only useful things it produced — ivory and slaves — could be had by trade. Until the mid-nineteenth century the interior was as unknown to Europeans as the surface of the moon.”
― H.L. Wesseling, Verdeel en heers: de deling van Afrika, 1880-1914
