This research will begin with the statement that the East African Coast, stretches more than a thousand kilometers from Northern Kenya to Southern Tanzania. A Swahili, African with influences of Arabic and Islamic, people lived on the East African Coast. The Swahili created over a thousand trading settlements stretching from Mogadishu in the North to Mozambique and Madagascar in the South. The Portuguese established two settlements beginning in 1531. Portuguese lasted well into the 20th century. Southern Africa was also a trade center in the 18th and 16th century. Torwa, Zulas, Maroserana, and other African tribes ruled. The European influence, however, struck again during this time. Denoon asserts that"the emergence of the strong confederacies, which led ultimately to the formation of the Zulu state, was entirely independent of events at the Cape". Denoon was speaking of the Dutch East India Company creating Cape Town in 1652. The parallels between what was happening the East African Coast and Southern Africa were numerous. The first was old trade routes created by the Swahilis and South African tribes were being taken over by outsiders, meaning the European colonists. The trade routes were being used to move all kinds of merchandise. Basically, old trade routes were being used to rape Africa of its precious natural commodities. Instead of coming to Africa and having to build roads, the Africans had already created a system.
