Ever since the end of World War II, and even more so since 1960,
when 17 African colonies became independent of colonial rule, the
African continent has been ravaged by a series of wars. These wars
have ranged from liberation struggles against former colonial
powers to power struggles between different factions in the
aftermath of independence. They have ranged from border wars
between newly independent states to civil wars between ethnic
groups. As with many conflicts, outside forces were drawn into
these wars, and major powers outside the continent intervened on
one side or the other for a variety of reasons: political ideology,
Cold War considerations, ethnic alignments, and stemming the flow
of violence. Whether referring to Algeria's struggle for
independence from French colonial rule, Nigeria's internal
struggles to achieve a balanced state after the British departure,
the Rwandan genocide of 1994, or the current ethnic cleansing in
Darfur, The A to Z of Civil Wars in Africa covers all of the wars
that have occurred in Africa since independence. This is done
through a chronology broken down by country, an introductory essay,
a bibliography, and cross-referenced dictionary entries covering
the wars, conflicts, major political and military figures, child
soldiers, mercenaries, and blood diamonds.
