About

The scramble for Africa in the 1880s saw the unclaimed parts of the continent divided amongst the Great Powers. Great Britain concentrated over the following twenty years in establishing her influence 'from the Cape to Cairo', which brought her into repeated conflict with the French Empire. The closest the two came to war was in 1898 over Fashoda; the Anglo-French Agreement of 1904 saw their imperial conflicts laid to rest, as the two stood together against a threatening German Empire.
