  2. Africa Simulation – Round 1 • 1500 to 1815 Africa has many powerful kingdoms that would be difficult to conquer and European countries are uninterested in African colonies at this time. • The power of the Ottoman Empire (north coast of Africa) and Ethiopia make those areas unavailable for European acquisition.

  3. Africa Simulation – Round 2 • 1815 to 1875 Africa continues to have many powerful kingdoms but European countries only need to control the coastline and river mouths to have trade access to the natural resources of the interior. • The Ottoman Empire (north coast between ports) and Ethiopia continue to be unavailable for European acquisition.

  4. Africa Simulation – Round 3 • 1875 to 1895Industrialization brought about rapid advancements in transportation and communication, especially in the forms of steam navigation, railways, and telegraphs. • Medical advances also were important, especially medicines for tropical diseases.
