Answer 2

This is a tricky question due to its correct answer. According to my recent research, none of those African states increased (at least not relevantly), neither their power nor their sizes. On the other hand, the african political-strength gainers of the XIX century are, mostly, western states (such as the Oyo Empire, located in Nigeria; or the Ashanti Empire, which was able to be found in Ghana).
