| Simulation Name: | Scramble For Africa |
| Description: | Territorial decisions in colonial Africa. |
| Simulation Type: | Map |
| Details: | Scramble for Africa is a 20 minute simulation that places students in the role of European colonial powers seizing colonies in Africa. The first two stages of the simulation address the contacts associated with the slave trade from 1500 to 1815 and the gradual increase in coastal domination from 1815 to 1880. The third stage addresses the rapid and haphazard establishment of colonies after 1880 and prepares students to better understand the political, social and economic problems faced by African nations when they achieve independence in the 1960s. |
