With a starting point of 1945, how would it be possibly for a country in Sub Suharan Africa to become a great power, comparable to current Britain or France?
Obviously, they would need a decent population. Nigeria has a huge population, while the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa have large populations as well. They would also need an economic boom-which would definately be possible with 65 years to work with under the right conditions.
Was it possible?
