Scramble for Africa

Now that we have begun to see the beginning of the Scramble for Africa, let us see colonialism at its peak before WWI. Notice the different European Powers at work throughout the continent. The large areas under control of France and Britain show the supremacy of the powers and the after effects of their imperialism. The only major country to not fall under colonialism is Ethiopia, who kept the title of being unconquered until the time of Mussolini. One can definitely see why the modern countries of Africa, especially North Africa, have nice clean borders. These were the lines that were drawn by Europeans to mark their zones of control.
