Decolonization brought independence to numerous African countries. However, independence did not necessarily mean an end to the influence of the world's most powerful nations on Africa. Despite decolonization, Africa remained a battleground for conflicts between global powers. This paper analyzes the relationships of the world's most powerful countries in Africa during the Cold War and today. The Angolan Civil War, the Congo Crisis, the Ethiopian Civil War, and the Suez Crisis are just some of the significant examples of conflicts involving global powers in Africa during the Cold War. Today, Africa continues to be a battleground for economic and military competition among global powers. Recently, China's economic influence has become increasingly noticeable, leading to conflicts with the United States over its policies towards Africa. This thesis also provides insights into the knowledge of African affairs among students in the third and fourth grades of general high schools and vocational schools. The content of this thesis serves as valuable professional preparation for geography teachers when preparing lessons on the geopolitical divisions of the world in the fourth grade of high school.
