Scramble for Africa and sodas

Sodas reach escape velocity around 1870. In 1879 10% of Africa was under European control but by 1914 90%, was under European control. Congo Free State is established in 1885.

Global overview of Leopold II had been almost completely undermined. What was Leopold II taking into account where Leopold turned to the Congo Free State? Maps and only maps.

Leopold II grasped horrors of the Congo Free State. Maps are however what counted for Leopold II.

Some sort of argument can be made for a Cape Town colony in regards to a way station to the Indian subcontinent but colonizing the Indian subcontinent made no sense at all. The Boer War which moved north in to Africa made no sense at all. French North Africa made no sense at all.

Sodas have had huge historical impacts. Bounces that occur for a short time where sodas are drunk have deceived all too many individuals.
