Scramble For Africa

1. What strategy did you use to claim land?
Me and my team, Portugal, looked at natural resource maps on Google, looked at an atlas, looked at the economy and other research. We tried to find out and take the countries that had the most coal, iron and zinc. After the first round we realized that most of the teams were going for the countries we chose and we had to try a different strategy. The strategy we tried next was to form alliances with who ever we could. The big and powerful countries like Great Britain wouldn't become es though, so we went to form an alliance with Germany and Spain.
2. What factors did you consider in claiming land?
The factors that i considered were mostly the natural resources the country had. I did that because Europeans are always looking for coal, iron and zinc and we could become rich by selling those resources.
3. Who won the Scramble for Africa?
I think that Great Britain won the Scramble for Africa because they occupied a lot of area and most of it was the area with the most natural resources.
4. Who lost in the Scramble for Africa?
I think that Spain lost the Scramble for Africa because they only owned little land and the land that they owned wasn't the best region for natural resources and the location wasn't the best either.
