But While I initially ignored the part about Britain taking over all of Southern Africa, I am trying to determine why it would do so. The reason Portuguese were left controlling Angola and Mozambique was for balance of power as the Portuguese control meant that the British controlled it economically. Why would there of been a desire on Britain part to capture it? The fact that a "neutral" country controlled it meant that it was not being fought over by Germany and Britain.Those countries add up to a pretty gigantic area to police. While I can see Britain claiming some of it and letting local African Kingdoms rule the rest, once the Scramble for Africa begins among the European Powers, Britain would accede part of the area to a minor European Power, perhaps the Dutch? That way Britain won't have to police the whole area themselves while not feeling threatened by a major power in the area, which was the exact purpose Portugal served.
