I have a big history test on teusday, but it isn't normal, I have to go in and just write as much as I can. I need to write about Angola the african country. Will this information at least get me a B?

Angola Outline
Basics:
1. 11 Million People
2. 13 times the size of Portugal
3. 1000 mile coast
4. President is Eduardo dos Santos
5. 78,000 Televisions in whole country
6. 47% Literacy
7. Former President was Eduardo Neto
8. 60% of the population uses 12% of the land
9. Largest Country in southern Africa
10. Bordered by Namibia, Congo, Zambia,

Assets:
· Rich in oil, diamonds, iron ore
· English Linked
· Could be richest African country if not for wars

Problems:
· War
· Diamond war restriction
· Landmines
o Slow transportation
o Farming dangerous
o Rail is only safe transportation
o Dangerous to play outside of village
o Many people wounded
o Slows and kills trade

Interesting to me:
· North South Running Plateau
· Plateau called Planalto
· Planalto has 4 times more rainfall than southern Angola
· Cooler on plateau, attracts vacationers
· Even with diamond restriction, vacationers are most of income for country

Interesting to my peers:
· Only two ethnic groups live entirely in Angola: Ovimbundu and Mbundu.
· Most of the Angolan population farms corn.
· Half of its money goes to its civil war
· Only 10% of the budget goes to schools


Of course i will go into detail on each point, tell me what you think. Thank You!
