Was Libya really neutral in the war or should I change its colour? Abdul-aziz 11:38, 1 June 2006 (PDT)

So Rhodesia and most of SA fell to China??? --Quentin 13:56, 1 June 2006 (PDT)

And whatever happened to Gambia?

Yeh, this is the December of 1945, the time when the Ethiopians, the Chinese and their allies had conquered the largest portion of Africa (from then on the territory mostly shrunk). In 1946 allied counter-offensives were launched which, together with the bombing campaigns and various guerillas weakened these states. The last remnants of the African Alliance and its co-beligerents fell in 1948 (or probably 1949).

With the serious battles in Europe against the Germans, the Federated Kingdoms had little possibility or will to defend its far away colonies. In my vision probably the Boers in Southwest Africa and South Africa allied with the Chinese as well, helping them to capture the territories, though I am not sure about that. For the Chinese South Africa was very important as the Chinese hoped that the Suez channel would be either captured by the Ethiopians or destroyed in the Ethiopian-Egyptian war - which would have made travelling around Africa (or a much longer path accross the Pacific) essential to reach the Indian Ocean. And the ships sailing around Africa would be easy to attack from South Africa and the capture of South Africa would have meant that the allies would not have any friendly ports from the Pepper Coast to the Thousand Emirates. The Chinese however did not manage to fully conquer South Africa - Zulu resistance was fierce, and the FK then used the remaining unoccupied Zululand to recapture the lost territories (although the war in the north and Egypt were considered to be more important and therefore parts of Rhodesia/South Africa were only recaptured after the Chinese surrendered). I am not fully decided on werether Chinese turned all the conquered lands into their colonies or maybe they established more minor states such as Maasai. But this wouldn't change much.

Gambia was captured by the Ethiopians at some time (1945 probably). One of the reasons of such capture could have been to aquire a good port in west Africa. I have explained more about Gambia at Image_talk:Ashanti.PNG. Abdul-aziz 14:29, 1 June 2006 (PDT)

Tunisia/Carthage

Why is Carthage/Tunisia shown on the map as French? --Sikulu 09:11, 22 August 2006 (PDT)

Because up until 1960 Morocco, Algeria and Tunisa were French colonies, and were known as the Maghreb. BoArthur 09:29, 22 August 2006 (PDT)

No way! Tunisia is part of the Kingdom of the Two Siciclies. Its description says, among other things: "The Empire of Tunisia limits south with the Maghreb Caliphate and west with Libya. In 1911, the Kingdom of Tripolitana in the federation of Libya became a condominium with the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies." —IJzeren Jan ^Uszkiełtu? 10:38, 22 August 2006 (PDT)

Wrong universe...sorry, my bad. BoArthur

Indeed, I have noticed this error previously but did not correct it. The main reason is that I was not sure if Two Sicilies should be marked as ally or as a neutral state, but it was an ally as far as I understand, so I will correct this issue when possible. Abdul-aziz 03:48, 25 August 2006 (PDT)

Done. Abdul-aziz 12:18, 6 September 2006 (PDT)
