[edit] Liberia and Ethiopia
It may be nice to include in the legend a box for grey areas, as many readers will be unfamiliar with their independent status. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Help!
I uploaded my edition, but it doesn't work at all! I only see the old version! What happened?

Africa is not real! It was all made up by craxy scientists! 68.37.220.119 20:28, 9 March 2006
[edit] Togo and Ghana
UK got Ghana After WWI, so on West Africa there is no UK. And Togo and Ghana belong to German. Matt86hk talk 14:55, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- Ghana was UK before WWI, see History_of_Ghana#British_control except for a small part in the east which was part of Togoland. So the map is correct except that Togo should be slightly larger. --Astrokey44 21:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
My apologies if mistakes were made during my revision. One should not hesitate to fix them. Albrecht 22:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- I dont think any were made in yours (wow this map has had alot of versions!) - the thing I mean is see the difference between the size of Togo in this version compared to this version --Astrokey44 01:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Colours
British possessions were typically coloured pink, and for the most part maps on Wikipedia have continued this tradition. Albrecht 20:34, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New map
I've created a new map of colonial Africa as it was in 1914. I've added in several corrections including increasing the size of Togo, correcting eastern British East Africa and post-1912 Libya. This is my first attempt at a map so constructive criticism is welcomed. (In fact it's my first foray into the Wikipedia in general) --Declan Graham 18:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
