34kurt

The correct answer is C. Nile

Explanation:

This included the Ancient Egypt civilization, which developed along the Nile River in the territory that is now Egypt in North Africa. This civilization emerged around 3100 BC and was known due to the development of a complex writing system (hieroglyphics) and its dynasties. Additionally, in the map described the location of the Nile river valley is shown by letter A because the Nile river valley covers the territory near to the Nile River, the area where the Ancient Egypt or Nile River Valley Civilization developed.

For those reasons, they chose GHANA as an ancient empire that wasn't located in the countries land (it was more in what we know as Mali), but that was recognized by its economical power through the Sahara.

3. Democratic Republic of Congo - It had a civil war between the national government and Katanga province. The Democratic Republic of Congo was originally controlled by Belgium. Nevertheless, in the rich south region, Katanga, people revolted against Belgium power and even other tribes in the country. At the end, it generated not only the independence of the whole Republic, but a long civil war in the now independed country and many other problems that can be traced until today.

4. Kenya - The Mau Mau rebellion led to its eventual independence from Great Britain. Mau Mau was a guerilla that fought against the Great Britain since 1952. Their obtective was basicly the Kenyan independence that they reache in 1960.
