WI: Limited Nazi victory in Europe, WAllied Africa?

Which do you mean? The colony? The independent, but whites-governed? Or Mugabe's?
White minority. Considering the Germans had a long history of shooting Africans that fought in Europe, and thst the French in Africa were... not great to the people that lived there, theyre going to have to pretty much constantly repress rebellions. I shutter to think of what would happen to the Belgian Congo.

The Nazis would do that, sure. But we're talking about the WAllies controlling Africa.

English controled Rhodesia and they did awful things. Belgium controlled the Congo and they did awful things. Now, take that away from the context of just trying to gain prestige and colonies, and put it in the context of what was seen as a national war for survival, and I guaruntee things for the Africans in WAllied controlled territory, especially in places like France and Belgium, are gonna get... bad.
 
Wouldn't the WAllies be more pragmatic in their African colonial empires if they were restricted to Africa? If the exiled European powers wish to retain their empires, then they'd have to cede some kind of political concession or something, no?

That reminds me - what would the Belgian Congo be like if the Belgian government-in-exile survived there? I was thinking of having King Leopold III smuggled out of Belgium and sent to the Belgian Congo where the exiled Belgian government would be more legitimate but that seems ASB, doesn't it?

It would be hell on earth for anyone not white, I can tell you that for a fact.
 
He would go to London not the Congo as the Congo wasn't a settler colony
I don't think that'd be possible in the scenario I presented - the European governments-in-exile will probably not be allowed to remain in London and they'd probably relocate to Africa with the British, Free French and Free Belgian colonial empires.

I highly doubt Germany would make that a demand for peace especially given they can't enforce it
 
Probably true - so how would life look like in the WAllied colonial empires in Africa?
Similar to OTL for Sub-Saharan Africa for British colonies. Belgium and France colonies will depend on their actions as they could go similar to OTL but with slightly more bloodshed or they could get forced out of the colonies by insurgency. Algeria will be more brutal as the Pied-Noir have freer reign.

What about independent African states like Egypt, Ethiopia or Liberia? What would they look like in this WAllied Africa scenario?

Similar to OTL but if the Soviet Union is defeated by Germany, Ethiopia won't go communist but another left wing ideology, and for Egypt if the Soviets are defeated. it will ally with Germany if not it will try to play them off each other. Liberia will be the same.

I doubt Ethiopia is going to go left-wing or for Egypt. As for Liberia, I'm not sure.
 
Hitler's last rantings were that without Italy (which had other plans) they could have "emancipated" the Arab states. while maybe too much is made of Nazi leanings of Arab Nationalists (at the time) and Nazi-like trappings of Ba'athist Party (later) there is probably some logic there?

Syria-Iraq-Egypt with Nazi incitement would, at very least, be very restive territories for any colonial power to rule or dominate.
