摘要
东非被广泛认为是非洲最小的政治区域。从绝对地理角度来看,它的面积为1,763,769平方公里。千米(680992平方英里)。今天,东非包括肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚(坦噶尼喀和赞比亚)、乌干达以及很大程度上的布隆迪、卢旺达和莫桑比克北部。这种规模是由于农业的迅速扩张,吞并了较小的王国,组建了一支强大的常备军,以及加强了军事防御。从物质和人类的角度来看,东非与南部非洲有许多相似之处,实际上沿着这两个地区之间的共同边界,很难精确地确定一个地区的起点和另一个地区的终点。这两个地区都属于高地非洲和高原,高原是南部非洲自然地理的一个显著特征,它一直延伸到东非。《非洲哲学研究》Vol. 9 (1) 2006: pp. 116-119
The Process of State Formation in Pre-Colonial East Africa.
East Africa is widely claimed to be the smallest of the political regions of Africa. In absolute geographic terms it covers an area of 1,763,769 sq.km (680,992sq miles). Today, East Africa comprises the countries of Kenya, Tanzania (Tanganyika and Zambia), Uganda and to a large extent Burundi, Rwanda, and Northern Mozambique. This size was due to the rapid expansion through agriculture, annexation of smaller kingdoms and strong formation of a strong and standing army as well as the fortification of the military. From both the physical and the human standpoint, East Africa shares many similarities with Southern Africa, and indeed along the common frontier between the two regions, it is difficult to determine with precision exactly where one begins and the other ends. Both regions belong to highland Africa and the high plateau which is such a conspicuous feature of the physical geography of Southern Africa which extends without a break into East Africa..
