I did some research, and it was probably from the US Navy Band.

Added to my research document, thank you for finding this out

why do i feel like i know who you are

Patience, I will make a video exclusively on The Gambia in the future

@@arsha1434 Besides, you just killed two birds with one stone. (Senegal and Gambia)

Well, that's what happens when there was high linguistic diversity before hand and the borders being made larger by france.

Mostly kingdoms and empires. Not just "tribes."

@@FromNothing idc

@@AwwsomeHistoryYTdamn I liked this comment til I saw this

​@YesCoolRo Sadly, I'm not even surprised. Ignorance is bliss. For those who do care though. The only places that would be considered "tribes" would be the ones in the fuzzy/hazy areas that lack solid line borders.

@@FromNothing I know that

Kingdoms*

@@FromNothing most never really organize into a kingdom.

@@UdinJibral That's not true. They were actual kingdoms. They had kings, capitals, armies, and trade networks with complex political economies and economic systems. It bothers me that the simple fact that they were in Africa makes people refer to them as "tribes." He even has a category at the bottom right corner of his legend to distinguish tribes from kingdoms. Solid borders are kingdoms/states. The fuzzy undefined regions are tribes and/or stateless peoples. The Fulbe at the bottom right corner of the map at 2:58 for example. As you can tell on that logic, most of the places depicted in the video were in fact centralized states. Not tribes. We just loosely toss around words like "tribes" and "chiefs" simply because they are African which undermines the complexity of the civilizations. For example we call people like the Yoruba of Nigeria, Benin, and Togo as a "tribe" even though they number some 40 million, span 3 countries, and have been building cities, kingdoms, and empires for thousands of years. Yet the Scottish who only number about 5.5 million, only inhabit the northern part of the British Isels, and primarily lived simple lives are never referred to as tribal.

@@FromNothing Thank you for your explanation. My country (Indonesia) kingdom is Coastal focused, with history of inland tribes/kingdom is fairly unknown, I cannot even found much of the Dayak history but I know that the name "Dayak" Was basically means inland people's. So I think I can implement this in my future understanding.

@@FromNothing I had a rather shallow understanding of Africa, but west Africa is my primary interest. I know something like Wolofia Mali and more, but I probably should re-studied west African Civilization. I also had an interest in South Africa and East Africa but the books and documentary that I read refer most as "Tribes" And "Chief"

I am subscribe to you

Technically until 1895. In the future I'll make a video focused exclusively on Guinea-Bissau, hopefully exploring the history of that tiny part of Africa in more detail.

Good question, that's a change in borders shown in the National Atlas of Senegal. I go in more detail in my source document, but in effect there likely were border changes that occured before this time, since I did observe changes on the Kajoor-Waalo and Waalo-Futa Toro border prior to 1850, but I could not find these specific changes for the other kingdoms

What mistakes ? Not judging, I’m really interested.

@@lhistorienchipoteur9968 I commented all of them detail fully but the channel took it down lmao
