Abstract

This research effort seeks to identify the policies adopted by the Europeans to obliterate the Arab identity in Africa (the country of Western Sudan as a model), and how they distributed roles to rob the region of its cultural and religious identity in addition to plundering its economic resources and capabilities. Through their western policies and expansionist goals, Europeans have posed a major challenge to the Arab-Islamic culture of Western Sudan in contemporary history, as the factors of influence they used were mutually reinforcing; form the actual occupation of the land, a cultural invasion of its peoples, and the launching of systematic evangelization campaigns, to enshrine a new reality in the region, contradicting the previous of the Arab-Islamic language and culture during the Middle Age and beyond. Those policies have, to a large extent, succeeded in achieving their goals to change the cultural reality of the region and its political and geographical maps.
