Explanation:
1. Presidential Democracy=> It is a presidential system in which there is a head of the democratic and republican government which looks and leads over an executive branch and is also separate from legislative branch.
Parliamentary Democracy=> It is a parliamentary system and as the name says it has a system of democratic governance of state.
2. It is because there were several social, economic, and political problems, with military conflicts and government instability and all these came in existence from the old times of 19th century where European had colonial powers and Africa was divided in various tribes etc.
3. A significant decrease in birth rates can be cured if other factors like medical facilities, food shortages etc. would have been fine because it affects all age groups. So, significant decrease in birth rate was not a major problem.
