I am considering spending my weekends this summer doing research and writing a timeline on a certain African state pre 1900. There are more than several I am interested, which is why I would like you guys and girls to pick the three you would find most interesting.

The basic story line for each timeline will have the same premise. Find out how each of these states failed, and try to fix said problems to make said state more powerful and/or different than it was previously. Obviously I am not trying to wank it so these states would be the most powerful in the modern world or something like that. Just trying to have them last longer (maybe to the modern day) and have them have more of an impact. Also want to succeed to show the world that Africa has potential to build successful powerful states if given the chance instead of end up being third world and poverty stricken. Anyways, enough of me ranting, please vote and feel free to comment.
