So as we know, between 1612 and 1872, The Netherlands had a colony in West Africa, called the Dutch Gold Coast. In 1872, they sold this colony to Britain.

But what if this never happened. What if the Gold Coast remained Dutch?

Would The Netherlands participate in the Scramble for Africa and gain more land from it?

Which influence would the POD have on the Boer Wars in South Africa? Would there be closer ties between the Dutch and the Boers?

How would it influence European history?

And last but not least: how would it develop in the future?
