Footprint on Africa
Some of the main visual elements are a large Black image of Africa with a large White footprint on top of it. The issue the cartoonist is supposedly putting up, is that Europe is trampling over Africa leaving footprints. And he is not happy about this. The reason you can tell he isn't happy, is because if you look at the footprint there's dry land in that are. So, what the cartoonist is trying to indicate is that where ever the Europeans go, there ruining those area's.Only, to make this point stronger, and more persuasive the cartoonist might have wanted to draw some damage such as fires and war in the footprint, showing real catastrophic events. Well heres the image what do you think it's trying to say?

scramble for africa
Well the strategy i used to get land was, Divide and Conquer! When looking for land you look for, if possible, coast land for bringing in ships, and inland for crops and other things alike. Well, both France and England had pretty much the same amount of land, I would have to say England won. This is because they have allot of coast like as well as large chunks of inland so they won the scramble for Africa. But then, who lost? Technically, Africa actually lost the scramble for Africa, because by the end of it they barely owned any land at all!
