If we take a look at the world map, countries like Canada, USA, Greenland, Russia etc. are very huge, and as humans we automatically get the idea: The bigger the country, the more powerful it is.

What you have not been taught in school is that all of this is a lie and the world map is incorrect. By looking at Greenland, it is big as the African continent. In reality, Africa is 14 times larger.

People who drew up maps during the colonial era (500 years ago which are still used in this day and age) purposely made Africa look smaller than the other continents when in actual fact it is the biggest alongside Asia. It was and still is a psychological way of programming people and especially Africans to think that the Europeans, Americans etc. are superior.
