| I personally find it very interesting, especially for its precursorship to the First World War, and for because I find the spirit of adventuring and real life Alan Quartemaines very interesting. |

| I do only because of the crises involved from it, and the spirit of adventure had by the colonists, but I dislike the White Man's Burden Philosphy, racism and power grabbing. |

| I do find that time period intriguing. Though, they should have made more conventional borders, adjusting to the tribes living in the regions, and perhaps Africa wouldn't be as much of a... Well... Political shithole today. |

| Perhaps, most of African strife today is more domestically political today, the decolonization era has fixed most of the colonial problems. |
