"The Scramble for Africa" describes nations competing with each other to gain land of Africa. The France had the most African land. Britain also had a large percent of the land. Germany had the third most land. Very little land was independent because of how fast the Europeans were taking over Africa's land. This gave Africa borders but was extremely unfair to the African people because they did not even ask for their permission. These nations were looking for natural resources in Africa such as rubber from rubber trees and much more. A tribe called Zulu did surprisingly well against the Europeans considering the advanced technology the Europeans tribe had over the Zulu. The leader of the Zulus, Shaka Zulu, teached his followers military skills and were even able to out smart the Europeans in some fights. The technology of Europe soon put a end to the Zulu but at least they proved to the Europeans that they can organize and be civilized when they must. Soon all of Africa was under other nation's control and was done fast and easily due to the machine guns and other technology. This scramble among Africa effected the African people because tribes that lived together for hundreds to thousands of years were seperated and many were seperated from t\land they h\they have gre to be use to and they would have a hard time adjusting to other places.

Europeans were largely driven back physically out of Africa.
However they have been fighting back with Psychological warfare and through their Pavlovian African surrogates to do the job for them.
The American Psychological warfare method worked well in Latin America however it had flaws an now we are seeing cracks emerging.
The old Colonialist lost Asia however they will not loose Africa
