By the winter of 1869, the world, once ravaged by the flames of war, suddenly quieted down. The colonial empires had ended their aggressive wars launched to shift domestic economic crises during this season.
The gap in strength between the warring parties was stark, and in the face of modern weaponry, raw courage was utterly insignificant.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was holding each other back, the wars would have ended even sooner. The post-war geopolitical landscape of the African Continent became even more pronounced.
France occupied Egypt, resolved the situation in Algeria, and, together with the British, divided Tunisia; Austria also achieved its predetermined goals, occupying areas such as Botswana, Kenya, and Tanzania.
Without a doubt, the British were at a disadvantage in this round of competition. Even though John Bull defeated Ethiopia and also killed Ordo II, it still did not change their disadvantage in the scramble for Africa.
