I like how the Ethiopians made good use of the situation to triple their territory as well.

>>2172743

not like the animals were using that land anyhow

Considering how big Africa is, it's pretty impressive.

>>2172737
That one's also amazing.

>>2172743
Can't say I blame them.

don't be an edge lord bro.

It wasn't all at once and many places it was "owned" but not owned owned.

Like the Portuguese never actually got full control or went deeper into interior Angola until very late in the colonialism period despite those borders being made for them which is why in many colonies military expeditions to quell the natives were common.

Kenya is another example of that

Mongolization of the Middle East.

>>2172678
It's a cycle.

It's going to probably be even worse this century.

Like what will happen is going to make the times of George Bush Jr look like a golden age a decade or two down the line.

>Considering how big Africa is, it's pretty impressive.

but if you think about it Africa is a death trap and they probably just claimed the territories more than anything else, I mean who wanted the Sahara?

>>2172994
Go on?

tldr; Trump will (by consequence of policy, not as active intentions) give the ME and Eastern Europe to Russia and SEA and Africa to China, resulting in a powerful multi-polar world which traditional international politics academia holds is the proximal cause for, basically, a long era of blood and strife.

The Clinton/Bush era already looks like a Golden Age.

Remember when internet arguments used to be about atheism? Seems tame compared to the nu-right and SJW shit flinging that goes on today.

France

France is known for eating up pretty useless land.

Also later on it was put to use by FFL.

Those Cameroon and Libya borders in the 1913 map are disgusting

People got sick of atheist, and they lost the fight. I Remember the crazy days of "the amazing atheist" and all those fedoras. A lot of the fasciation probably stemmed from ejection Bush era Protestantism "God told me to invade Iraq" nonsense. Take that away, people realize 1. they believe in a world beyond the material 2. They belief in God and religion.

>>2172671
Egypt was British since about 1820.

>People got sick of atheist, and they lost the fight
No they didn't. I doubt a single person changed their minds because of shitty internet fights. People stopped talking about it because new shit popped up.

A brief history lesson
>300 BC - 100 AC
>Roman empire peaks
>Creeps the fuck out of Roman soldiers, they're used to open fields, cities and roads, etc.
>Suddendly their battle formations / tactics run a muck because now inbetween the huge and immense misty forests.
>They're power exceeds their true grasp, barbarians (batavians, celts, frisians, etc) become bolder and more roughless, they simply refuse to negotiate and slaughter Roman tax collectors.
>Romans have been pushing them too far, back home corruption cripples the empire and is destroying it from the inside out.
>Fast forward, the dark ages are over, the enlightenment now takes hold over europe, the renaissance is here.
>Nations which are open to more and daring ideas make great discoveries, accept people which flee the old model / religious regimes which still dominated other countries.
>If you look at pic related you see Holland had the highest GDP throughout the 15th, 16th and 17th century.
>Nations like Britain, France and Spain had like 5x the populace and a much bigger empire.
>These empires were about quantity, the Dutch empire was about quality.
>The Dutch adopted a new system of tax to include the lower and middle class from all provinces into their oversea trading / adventures, a bigger warchest meant a headstart regarding ships, technology and manpower, everyone was involved.
>When a shipload sailed back from Asia for example it outgunned other vessels, so taking more risks was profitable because when you got back and devided the loot everyone (upper, lower and middle class) profited, got their share depending on how much tax they payed in the first place.
>The quality of life improved for everyone, this was the first democracy and the first stock market system in the world.
>Britain was the first nation who copied this system and because they had a bigger pool (people/resources) they overtook the Netherlands in the 18th century.
Then the scramble for Africa began

>The only reason for the scramble of Africa was due to the demand of a total different material.
>Around the industrial revolution Europe needed rubber
>Before this jungle was uninteresting and hostile, best used to solely take slaves to work oversea's on plantages, now Africa was interesting (profitable)
>All of europe went over to claim what was theirs because no other peoples had done so
Why not take what is yours when the only resistance is a piece of sharp fruit thrown at you every so often?
Ofcourse during this proces and in the end Europeans sadly made the same bad descisions that the Romans made when dealing with Germania.
You don't just cut a continent in half with a completely different culture.
History is written by the conquerers and that's why we'll never learn from it.

Yeah, nah. He's already talking big on using Russia as a fulcrum to put the kibosh on China. Putin seems game as well.

I don't get it. Was this a bad thing? American seems to have caused never ending hell in the middle East.
