Germany's vision of the division of Africa after World War I was no wonder Italy was disobedient.

There are several key locations on the continent that are strategic, and generally the UK has many deployments. One is Egypt, the northern tip of Africa, where the Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean sea to the Indian Ocean and is the most convenient sea route connecting Europe and Asia.

Another sea route is South Africa, where many ships have bypassed the Cape of Good Hope since ancient times.

The third is the Strait of Gibraltar between Morocco and Spain.

The fourth was between West Africa and the Gulf of Guinea, where the Germans did not keep a single port.
