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.

Thoughts on Namibia?
Love your content ❤❤❤❤
Pretty Fire
I don’t think that Belgium deserves Namibia but hopefully Germany gets Congo lands and claims.
Should have been French
@@Sithbuilder1 I regret supporting it
Italy taking half namibia out of nothing just for annoy the others power. Incredible that's literally how geopolitics work.
they got ethiopia and were like "alright boys, we're done here"
As and italian i have to say that It makes no sense at all having a southern endless desert
@@davidechiarini369They already got what they wanted. There is no risk in taking it I guess.
@@davidechiarini369 it happens our colonial policy is just having as much desert we can
@@BellUH-1IroquoisBell yeah unfortunately, most of somalia eritrea and libya are deserts
Portugal here, I’m cringing from how stubborn I was 😭
Good job regardless as your role as Portugal
lowkey you were fairly reasonable compared to like france
@@SkeetontheverycoolSkeleton thanks, I was trying to be both helping myself and reasonable
I think you were reasonable, you didn’t whine like France, plus you were trying to compromise
Mapa cor de rosa🤩
France was the biggest meme of this experiment.
EDIT: THX FOR THE 309 LIKES!!!
Just like real life.
Give Belgium everything
Memes, the DNA of the soul
he was so annoying
France going through character development pt4
I love how italy just keeps getting free land 😂
Yeah the Italian diplomat is the ultimate master negotiator
France trying its hardest not to be unreasonable for 5 seconds 😂
Difficulty: impossible
considering everyone ganged up on him it makes sense for him to argue for their rivals
@@delano4526 everyone "ganged up on him" yet somehow he just happened to end up with almost the entire west section of the continent, in a conference. Sounds more like they got tired of his choosing beggar style.
@@calste85I mean. 70% of it was just sand.
@@calste85dude they literally start with all the land they have in west africa. They have received far less compared to the rest of the great powers and about as much as the minor powers. If i were France i would be insulted that the great powers were not treating my country with respect or enough seriousness. I mean look at the facts, every single concession France tried to gain was contested or rejected by either germany or the uk. Which i think is incredibly unrealistic due to the good relations between the french and brits, and the horrible relations between german and the either 2 powers at the time. If this were real life, theres no shot France isnt declaring war on someone because of this.
I find it hella amusing how Italy always is like:
I meannn I don't mind
And keeps getting random stuff without much fighting. 😂
So far, Germany has stood down on various occasions, therefore they could claim the Congo and it wouldn't even be an outrageous claim. Also at last, there are ressources in contrast to the desert that is Namibia on which they backed down. Loving this series so far!
PS: France throwing tantrums is a meme at this point :D
it is reasonable for Germany to get the Congo but I'm rooting against them because they're too friendly with the UK and I want to put a check on their power
yeah france this whole time has just been trying to hurt germany blatantly and I know know how the others don't see it
@@delano4526 yet the problem is, that the balance of power is not yet reached.. arguably the gains of minor nation helps, yet Germany seems "weak" in contrast to GB and FR.
Denmark here again, sorry guys I tried. Danish Namibia would have been great, but we can not always win.
You would have gotten it if france didnt nato intervention yall with whatever random powers he could to fuck with germany.
@@johnrose3799It made me so mad! The end deal was super stupid and all just to spite Germany...
It is not too late
@fard6703 idk but mabe try and do something in Congo, just as a little fuck you to Belgium for Being so annoying..
@@fard6703the French will do anything to anger their rivals. Germany just decided to join in with the UK.
Germany is probably losing now. They need Congo and some extra colonies
To be honest Namibia is useless anyway. Them being kicked out of Namibia makes it easier for them to claim the Congo. If they’re able to do that then that alone is better then what they got in real life.
True
Portugal should have taken a free passage agreement or at most some form of joint ownership, Britain has administrative ownership but Portuguese have full benefits in the region. They're centuries old allies ffs.
Well yes as GB and Portugal played themselves here given they could both get what they want with a small strip of land being held in joint.
Lol France brought all the others into their annoying clown car, great
He ruined this whole thing. This is arguably worse than in real life.
As a french i can confirm he has really acted like a French against a English, so proud of him :3
@@fard6703 I don’t know why he was allowed at all.
Damn guys, that’s harsh
y'all need to leave france alone, he ain't doing nothing wrong cuh
Germany definitely should have gotten Namibia but now instead they should be able to get Congo lands and claims.
Belgium desrced it more
Germany would need to allow the UK to have colonies or something running through the Great Lakes the towards Botswana and Zimbabwe. If France offers that first and then gives small nations random provinces then they might be able to annoy the Germans (the ultimate victory)
Man this was such a France gets revenge on Germany episode, by supporting the minor powers.
Meanwhile GB just fumbles the ball on their Cape to Cairo ambitions, by both them and Portugal refusing to do the simple solution of have the strip of land around the Cape to Cairo and Portugal's railroad from east to west being a strip of land held in joint.
The fact that Belgium called Austria for help but nobody answered lmfao
Belgium and Italy spliting Namibia is genuinely ridiculous
Yeah, Germany deserves the Congo now.
Yeah and they will probably get it because Britain will do anything in its power to stop the people who interfered with Cape to Cairo and Portugal can probably be pushed into voting for it
Germany almost got it in real life. Belgium isn’t going to be able to press their claim their, France won’t get it due to the British. I think Germany might be in for a W.
Portugal fumbled hard they could of gotten so much more land plus good relations with Britain and Germany if they hadn’t swapped allegiances
For some reason, I like the idea of Italy owning barely 2 or 3 big colonies and the rest of its posessions being random cities across the coast line
All boats lead to Rome
Bro france trying to fight both Britan and Germany is crazy💀🙏
Yeah I really do I agree with Portugal that was ridiculous to ask for
I think Germany and Britain should split the Congo to compensate Germany for its loss here in Namibia
Namibia isn't even worth a 1/10th of Congo
as a mozambican i'm very happy with french and portuguese plans
If now Germany doesn’t get Mittelafrika I‘ll calmly write a comment criticising France.
France Shapiro wheeling and dealing
I thought he was Andrew rate
Tate*
I really want Montenegro to get a small section of Africa
they would literally have like 5 settlers
@@delano4526 yeah but it would be funny an protection against ottoman aggression kind of like a Taiwan to the Republic of China
There's literally a waterfall on the Zambezi river so the germans couldn't get to the indian ocean anyway
The france guy is the best 😂
C'est un vrai français 🇲🇫
@@Libanoni974 well he sounds bostinian
The video felt really short but it's just because everyone spent so long discussing the same thing for the entirety.
Libya should have gone to Italy.
Remember the rules at the start of the video, no nation with pre-existing land in Africa could be voted out if it unless they agreed to it
@@ManFromChicagoit didnt show the Ottoman flag in that section, only Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal
What they got was pretty much what they historically controlled of Libya until the 1920s when the Kingdom of Italy began the erradication of desert fighters that still harrased italian settlements and proyects in the region.
France like:🗣️🗣️😡😡😡
I swear to god if the Portuguese don't get pink map I'm gonna lose it, been waiting for that since the series started lol
Same
This is amazing! Love your work ❤😊😊😊😊
I think the german/british alliance has been op in this series personally, France had no allies the entire series yet 2 of the other great powers did
German Congo NOW
What the fuck is Scott Malkinson from South Park doing being the Belgium player 😭 7:50
Please make the second part of,, what if spain and portugal united" it was really interesting
It would be interesting if we also did this in the Treaty of Tordesillas but all European nations Invited
Gonna say I really appreciate the french player
Everyone's upset at him but frankly I find him such a joy to watch, its like seeing a high-pitched Napoleon! Made things a lot more fun
NOOOOOOOOOOO GERMANY LOST NAMIBIA TO PIZZASTAN
Half the video is just Namibia
One of the most useless colonies ever💀
Beautiful video 👍🏻 could you do an alternate history of first french empire Or an alternate history with napoleon emperor of italy?
3 cities in Libya and the south of Namibia, this is an important win for Italy
Italy is the king of the game, obtaining land just for being here.
You should deffinatly do something similar for the Congress of Berlin, Treaty of Versailles, or the Potsdam conference
Love to the cannnel and video, you work is amazing, please keep it up. Also how do I send for example video idea scripts to you, as I remember you once were calling out for help by people doing research and making scripts?
message me on discord, I am always looking for viewer created scripts
Portugal played that incredibly bad at the end
Wow that's hilarious. I love the French guy. Bro's so goofy and somewhat unreasonable in his things. Portugal for the win tho
Make a full series for this
it is, theres 3 earlier videos
The belgian player came to cause pure chaos lol
this series would be amazing if there was more random stuff like Belgian and Italian Namibia and bidding wars for literal empty desert
So Denmark should get Congo now
France just rallying minor powers to mess with Germany and Britain is funny ngl. They need to bring in Austria and Russia with little port or resource rights concessions and such. Just pool those votes with the Ottomans, Italians, Belgians, etc 😂
Portugal trying to get the drop on England is fucking silly lol
I would’ve proposed an Anglo-Portuguese autonomous zone of the disputed territory that allows economic access for both nations to connect their colonies. Short of an autonomous zone, my alternative offer is Britain and Portugal allowing a mutual third party to govern the disputed territory they both agree would be fair and impartial in trading rights and access to infrastructure.
It’s so annoying how France tries to be a pain in the ### to Britain and Germany even though he doesn’t even gain any land form it
here before all the france haters arive, yalll call it whining i call it caring for his people
I like the bidding war for Portugal’s vote.
Germany better get norther Congo this is madness
Very nice
How was there an entire debate on who got a desert
Britain and Germany should split Congo with the German half connecting to Cameroon plus the coast and the British half for the construction of Cape to Cairo railroad.
I fw the italo-belgian pact heavy
make a video if the Treaty of Tordesillas was not made and all of South America was Portuguese as was foreseen in the previous treaty or if Spain never unified.
if it is the 2nd idea: Portugal conquers Galicia when the mother of the King of Portugal, Queen of Galicia, dies
❤
As an Italian I find it hilarious how Italy and France are both trying to shit on the English
I was Belgium lmfao
Oh hello Sith
Man you are evil😂
Bro you made Germany so angry at you 😂
Bravo man, you expanded my proud country of BELGIVM a little bit ! (And try to negociate us a bit of land in Congo ! I think Stanley's expeditions into Congo already happened so you could theorically have small claims into the area ! Verify this on Wikipedia)
@@ProbsNotLiamyo sup dude!
This is just starting a war
WW1 by 1910 is my guess as a result of the lack of markets to expand into for german capitalists
♥ your Videos
you should do an aftermath of ww1 with these guys
France just not letting britain have any fun 🤣
When are you going to continue those fairer treaties for post-ww1.
I want to see the war over the Congo
Could you remake this whole series just without France in it at all?
Nah this krazy mannn
Videntis! Huge fan of all You do! Hearth please ❤❤❤❤
France here, had a good time as always
wrong
Damn sith
You were much less aggressive this video I liked that
@@WilliamFlea 😭
You are fantastic! Stick it to the English!
I hope the German diplomat really asserts himself in Mittelafrika
I hate the France player with so much passion.
Bruh
Germany should invade Belgium, just saying.
yaaaaa W discord
I neuer thought I would ever hate Belgium so much over Namibia. The border gore is killing me, personally I hope in a Part 2 of this Berlin conference a German British alliance could over power the allies and give better borders towards our real world
as an Italian I'm so triggered that our player didn't take Libya porcodio
Danish congo when!!!!
i love this series but why does france scream every single word they say 😭
i don’t know why people take so much issue with how France is acting in this event. You’re supposed to act within the best interests of your country and gain the most valuable land, that’s literally the point of the event.
France my favourite Ambassador by FAR
This whole time has been france being a bit ignorant
Balkan wars when >:(
I feel like you should redo this with a different France player
should you invite Ethiopia?
What if the Indo-Europeans never existed at all??
Early! Poor Germany...
Let’s go cape to Cairo
As a french, i love who represent me 😂
i guess even here i wont see the pink map come true 😢
Geez France calm down
Can you guys divide up France next or better yet have Africa split up Europe
Hi
