In the first two periods, the most significant intervention was extra-continental. The USA, the Soviet Union, China, Cuba and the former colonial powers entangled themselves in countless African conflicts. During the period of state collapse, the most consequential interventions were intra-continental. African governments, sometimes assisted by powers outside the continent, supported warlords, dictators and dissident movements in neighbouring countries and fought for control of their neighbours' resources. The global war on terror, like the Cold War, increased foreign military presence on the African continent and generated external support for repressive governments. In each of these cases, external interests altered the dynamics of Africa's internal struggles, escalating local conflicts into larger conflagrations, with devastating effects on African peoples. 410 0$aNew approaches to African history ;$v7. 606 $aInsurgency$zAfrica$xHistory 607 $aAfrica$xForeign relations 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 607 $aAfrica$xForeign economic relations 615 0$aInsurgency$xHistory. 676 $a327.6009/045 700 $aSchmidt$b Elizabeth$f1955-$0521180 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452763403321 996 $aForeign intervention in Africa$9832690 997 $aUNINA
