Like the title says. My friend and I (who both have a mild interest in alternative history) said that if Britain defeated France over Fashoda, annexed her colonies, then bought Germany's colonies in exchange for an assurance of her continental dominance, it would only be a matter of time before the Empire absorbs the rest of Africa.
I told him the scenario was rather unlikely, but that if Germany won the Great War and a WW2 analogue, then they would be left with Mittleafrika and Morroco, effectively controlling the continent.
It got me thinking. Which colonial power could have plausibly taken over all of Africa, with a POD after 1750? Britain? Germany? France? Someone out of left field?
Who would be most likely?
