Scramble for Africa

The strategy we used was buying huge chunks in the same places and then seizing the smaller parts of land in that area by force so that we owned an entire area, not just spread out little bits. The factors we considered were what our card told us we wanted to gain and which countries had those resources, also making sure that if we shared a border with another country we had more surrounding them then they had surrounding us so that they couldn't win if they attacked us. In our class, I think Germany won, because they also used to strategy of buying up lots of land in one place and owned almost the entire south of Africa. In our class I think it was Portugal that lost, but it may also have been Belgium. I'm not 100% sure.
