We did not really have to do anything since we had Italy and Italy was the last country to go. Therefore there was no reason to figure out what we would take because we were getting leftovers. If we planned stuff out, we would have waste our time since the choices would have been taken. But what we did do was take what was given to us, analyze it and take the land that was best fit in our situation which I think we did a good job. We acted quick on our feet to get what we needed.
I do not know who won or lost but the people that did worse than expected would be Britain since they did not use most of their land that they were given.
The real life situation was a big impact on Africa even still today. The Europeans unfairly split up Africa without the consideration of the Africans was very cruel. But that was the way it played out and it gave most of Africa to Europeans rather than the Africans.

Do Now: "The Scramble for Africa"
I think it means all the countries, mainly European countries, are "scrambling" for the controlling over the countries in Africa. They want to get more land than the competitors so they are quickly trying to fight against the countries.

Do Now: Opinion
I believe the Europeans became interested in Africa because of the people over there. They classified them as "dumb, but strong". Therefore they used them as slaves. Slavery is the biggest thing between the relation of Europe and Africa.
I think that the slavery will impact African society negatively. The people are being taken away from their tribes, villages, and away from their families. With more and more people going away, the number of labor forces in Africa will go down and bring the economy down with it. And just socially, the impact will be huge, both positively and negatively. Positively because the people that are going to be slaves will be so close to each other that they will get to know each other a little bit more. Negatively because the families will be apart forever.
