The Scramble for Africa

France = Blue
Great Britain = Red
Germany=Black
Belgium=Yellow
Spain=Orange
Netherlands=Purple
Portugal=Green

In our scramble for Africa session it could be argued that Great Britain and France won. This because they had strategic land as well as lots of land.

The losers would be either Belgium or spain because they had very few strategic areas and very barely any squares of land.

I noticed that during the game we never thought of what Africans might want, we just got what we wanted. Just like that when imperialism occured in Africa no one cared what the Africans wanted. So the real winners were the Europeans and the real losers were the Africans!
