Okay you guys I want to know does this mean you guys don't know the concept of "Wealth in People" because that's been the paradigm I've been speaking of literally this entire time.

I was asking if you had heard of a group that fit within your Eurafrican concept. I wasn't disagreeing with you, just trying to solicit a more academic discussion.

I keep on saying this but I do everything on my phone so I get a lot of errors. Ive heard of them before they basically are a more southerly laçandos, both very much important in the cultural, political and economic expansion of Portuguese.
 
Oh sorry, didn't know that. I've never heard of the Lacandos -- only knew of the Ambaquistas because I was considering a TL where Kongo survives in a more concrete, state-based form as a Euro-recognized state (kinda like a Central African Ethiopia, in many respects).

I had heard of the wealth-in-people concept before, just not by that name.
 
Eventully without the division of the different people of Africa great empire would form. Therefore, the European countries would want to have alliances with these empire so they could get the resources of Africa. Now remember like native Americans these Africans would be way behind other countries of the world such as European countries, so European provided guns would be essential. Also, without the scramble there would be no cause for WWI. "Unless Gavrilo Princip still shot the archduke, yet that would more probably result in a Bosnian uprising rather than a full scale war."
 
Maybe if the Berlin Conference, or its alt-analogue, breaks down. As a result there isn't an "orderly" agreed upon division of Africa into spheres of influence where the various European powers were given free reign to deal with the natives as they saw fit. As a result the various European powers keep tripping each other up when they try to push inland, whilst the native powers rise and fall based on their ability to play the Europeans off against each other. Some areas will fall under the control of Europe, but there are better odd of some of the locals being able to pull an Ethiopia.
