It's not so much that Africa became poor as it is that the continent has largely been bypassed by many of the factors which have contributed to the development of other parts of the world. Politically, there are still many African countries led by despotic rulers. Many countries have a wide range of economic disadvantages, such as low education levels, lack of basic infrastructure, etc. In addition, many of these countries were exploited by more powerful countries from Europe, etc., in multi-generational dramas which had heavy doses of racial discrimination thrown in. The combination of factors is sufficient to account for Africa's problems, no single factor is the key on it's own.
