Artist's Comments

I had a sudden strike of inspiration, and took a break from commissions to work on this alternate map of Africa.

The Central Powers win WWI, resulting in much different colonialism in Africa. Don't know how plausible it is, but I wanted to explore independence due to economic depression.

A very nice map. I agree that the plausibility is iffy, but it is still pretty cool. I am guessing by the break up of France that the French were pushed from Europe into their African colonies.

Damn, it's colonial Africa on steroids!

I like the colour scheme, and Austro-Hungarian North Africa is original :D There's a couple of anachronisms, e.g. "Togo-Benin" - in OTL the state now called Benin was Dahomey in the 1960s, when it was changed for fairly inexplicable reasons to the name of its historical neighbour, kind of like renaming Germany "France"...
