european settlement patterns in africa generally favoured territories with a substantial amount of land at least above sea level, an annual rainfall of over twenty inches (51 cm) but not exceeding forty inches (102 cm), and relative freedom from the tsetse fly. in contrast to western and central africa, the milder, drier climates of northern, eastern, and southern africa thus attracted substantial numbers of permanent european immigrants. a modest annual rainfall of under forty inches was considered especially suitable for the temperate farming activities to which many were accustomed. the first parts of africa to be populated by europeans were located at the northern and southern extremities of the continent, accordingly; between these two extremes disease and the tropical climate precluded most permanent european settlement until the late nineteenth century. the discovery of valuable resources in africa's interior and the introduction of quinine as a cure for malaria altered this longstanding trend, and a new wave of european immigrants arrived on the continent between 1890 and 1918.
