The Scramble for Africa

The strategy that my group and I used was to first claim the resource rich areas of West Africa, which was our objective area. After we completed this we continued to claim more parts of Africa aside from the west that had valuable resources. We also tried to determine the objective areas of other countries, and we tried to claim that and instead of them. One factor we considered was to claim areas where there was enough of a population to provide labor. It is a very close finish between GB and France, but I think that France won due to our claiming of areas that were very rich in raw materials, and we covered almost all of our objective area. Spain lost this game. The area that Spain claimed is very scattered, and the main area that Spain claimed has essentially no natural resources.
