My Viewers Redid the Scramble for Africa LIVE: 5

The Scramble for Africa is one of the most contentious actions in history. In 1884, the powers of Europe met in Berlin to discuss the colonization of Africa. While no official borders were directly drawn because of the Conference, it formalized the Scramble for Africa, and laid out the acceptable ground rules for colonization. I decided to get 14 people from my discord server assigned as diplomats for every nation present at the conference to redo the Scramble for Africa.

Did discord do a better or worse job than the real diplomats? Also, who were the biggest winners and losers.

[vincevanhartingsveldt]

I have never seen a Frenchman wanting Germany to get more land.

[MastrHand]

Italy doing nothing for the whole game and still managing to win a good part of Africa just for having participated in the conference is the most Italian approach to geopolitics I have ever seen.

[simmilimmi]

Italy is biggest winner since they got Congo and Ethiopia, and Belgium is biggest loser since they got empty desert

[waterwatereverywhere]

Italian congo is the most fever dream thing I could ever think 😂

[turtlenecksarepoggers]

Compared to our timeline, Italy is most certainly the biggest winner. All of Ethiopia and the Congo is much better than nothing.

2:28 „let’s not hold a grudge here“ says the guy both historically and irl pissed as fuck at Germany

[l.warner]

I can see this Alternate Timeline, Anglo-German Alliance happening.

[dodar.]

Insane play from Italy, will there be a follow up video of the alternate history that these borders would have created?

[dingozi]

I really want to see an alternative timeline and continue onwards to see this alternative colonization of Africa

[omaredaley]

Can’t believe it Italy won Berlin conference couldn’t even beat Ethiopia yet they won this conference wow

[malikberry]

I hope the Belgium don’t commit a massacre

[Jeju__]

I dont know but italy getting the congo was really random, i didnt expect it

[TLodberg]

Greetings people, Denmark here again for the last time. Well, Danish Congo was close but things didn't work out, I was also hoping for the Angola colony, again we were close. Well in the end of it all Denmark did get some lands in Africa and we now have some fun stories to tell, ally's made and honor shown to all.

Also, Ottoman's. You are never getting the Congo.

14:25 bro roasted the ottomans so bad they stopped talking for the entirety of the video🙏😭

[Julianist]

Germany was robbed. Although I think with the German delegate supporting the UK in so many aspects maybe Germany and the UK will both hold a grudge against France (and maybe even Belgium). So while it may seem like Germany lost they could have won in the long run.

[Horde_of_the_Swarm]

Alternate history episode based on this version of the conference would be great though cant fathom the effects

[PolarisMusic]

France is losing his mid more and more after each episode

[santi]

Italy got a massive buff and Spain somehow became even less relevant, amazing

[anvos]

End result feels like the German Ambassador may get tried for treason. Belgium likewise things didn't go too well, and they may need to look into fleeing the nation.

Britain and France each feel a bit like a wash, though the British Ambassador wouldn't be remembered fondly for being so close to Cape to Cairo, but constantly failing.

Over all I'd say Portugal or Italy were the winner.
