The Scramble for Africa


The strategy we mostly used was bargaining. We would ask Belgium haters for land that we needed and in return, we would attack Belgium every turn and give conquered land to the people whose land we took. This worked quite well and it protected us from the bigger countries who were trying to take our land. We had to take into consideration. First, we would claim land that would have at least two of our resources. We traded alot and fought alot for land in Botswana and Zambia because it had all three of our resources. Then we considered how much each place was worth. We thought that Zambia was worth the most so we tried to get as much land there as possible. On the other hand, Rwanda and Uganda was almost worthless to us and we were always trying to trade it. I think that Portugal won because they got all of the resources that they needed. I think that the looser was a tie between Britain and Spain. Britain because they only got half of the Suez, they didn't get Petrol or Iron and they did a bad job killing off the French. The Spanish because they only got Copper and almost no other resources.
