I figured I would plug in all the current African countries to see what comes up. 1880 was picked as a starting point since it was roughly when the upwards ticks in mentions of countries began. Sadly, I cannot do all of them on one graph. So, be aware that the %s are relative to those in each group. The first graph has an upwards of .001% while the next one is .005%.

For fun, does anyone want to draw some conclusions?

Most of the spikes appear to coincide with times when the country in question is of particular interest to Western media. (i.e. Congo in 60s, Uganda in 70s.) Interesting; not particularly surprising.
