People often forget how recent overall the colonization of Africa ended

I like how you can also see other areas being explored at the same time as this one. Great detail

This video was actually super helpful! You managed to condense the core elements of over 500 years of history into a well made and understandable video. A great jumping-off-point for learning about European colonialism.

Moral to the story, he who gets the best weapons first wins.

I wish there was more context on a lot of that history but the ending was greatly appreciated!

Education is all well and good but man it's satisfying to watch the map get filled in.
