By demobilizing armies, deposing marauding princes and subduing war-like states, European powers fashioned a half-century of political order. The question nonetheless arises: Should they be lauded for that? In this chapter, I view Africa{\textquoteright}s history through the lens of comparative history and argue that the imperial peace may have retarded Africa{\textquoteright}s development.},
