WIIHD -- What If It Happened Differently -- basically a "What If" composed of numerous parts. What if...
*Zanzibar remained united and a British protectorate, while Italian claims to Somalia were rebuffed, giving a united "East Africa" (minus Mozambique) to Britain (admittedly similar to discussions in this thread -- feel free to gloss over this as setting the scene for the other two)...
*Germany got the Congo instead of Leopold (through something like this TL)...
*and the Sokoto Caliphate remained a sovereign nation (similar to ideas discussed in this thread, post 28)?
That's the idea; I know it retreads some familiar territory, but I never got to really discuss the effects of changes put together. (Also, sorry I don't have a map to go with this
