At present, East Africa's development is extremely rapid, although now is the era of industrialization, East Africa's development in industrialization is almost blank.
However, the conditions in East Africa are not very favorable in themselves, especially before the colonial development of East Africa when the vast majority of the area was still in the primitive hunting civilization.
The vast land had not been developed or utilized, and the only modern state entity, the Sultanate of Zanzibar, relied heavily on the slave trade on the mainland.
Bringing the East African colonies into an agricultural society was already quite an achievement.
Agriculture is fundamental to East Africa; even in past lives, East Africa has been one of the few agricultural areas in Africa, capable of reaching a self-sufficient level. Tanzania and countries near the Great Lakes Region are important agricultural nations in Africa.
