Post Conference Analysis

My group was the country of Germany. Our tactic to getting land was to have choices of different places we would like t claim. With these choices, we had a better opportunity to get land that would satisfy us. I think that our group did well in the grab for Africa, because we got to claim one of our top three choices of the land we wanted. The land we decided upon was rich in ivory and a had a little copper. We chose this piece of land as one of our choices because there was excellent farming land as well as wood that could be used for lumber. In our land there is also a major harbor, that will be convenient for ships to make exports from Africa. I think that teh Berlin Conference greatly affected Africa in many negative ways. They completely tore and seperated Africa. I think that the effects of the conference are still present today.
