In the first two periods, themost significant intervention was extracontinental. The United States, theSoviet Union, China, Cuba, and the former colonial powers entangled them-selves in countless African conflicts. During the period of state collapse, themost consequential interventions were intracontinental. African governments,sometimes assisted by powers outside the continent, supported warlords, dic-tators, and dissident movements in neighboring countries and fought for con-trol of their neighbors’ resources. The global war on terror, like the Cold War,increased the foreign military presence on the African continent and generatedexternal support for repressive governments. In each of these cases, externalinterests altered the dynamics of internal struggles, escalating local conflictsinto larger conflagrations, with devastating effects on African peoples.Elizabeth Schmidt is Professor of History at Loyola University Maryland.
