Why did the Scramble for Africa take so long, why wasn't it earlier? What was the reason that it took so long? What factor need to change for it might to have been earlier? Was the size underestimated and so if it was mapped earlier it might colonised faster? What factors need to change for people to what to map it? Was it missionary that caused it to be mapped? If it was colonised earlier how might this change history? Would independence have been faster? What about slavery? If slavery was abolished long before America was established, what would America look like? Would the factors that lead up to the Civil War been avoided with the factor of slavery gone? How might America have been with no such war? America would of course have a much smaller black population, how might this change it's course? What you think?
