“In time, we shall be in a position to bestow on Africa the greatest possible gift - a more human face.”—Steve Biko.

With such abhorrent events happening it can all come to an end if all nations contribute and maintain a committed effort to stop starvation and malnutrition in developing countries. Over the last few years starvation and malnutrition has came to the attention of many organizations and societies. Scientific research conducted by several nations shows that one third of the children in Africa suffer from a condition

During the 19th century, Imperialism started to break out across the globe. The Age of Imperialism actually began in 1870, mostly impacting European states, Africa, and the Middle East. This is where countries gained power by taking over and claiming land that was already inhabited. States were driven by power and influence, and they all wanted to be the best. This lead to tension and competition for power among countries. However, places with the biggest army, most advanced technology, and organized
