The map vividly depicts the colonial possessions in Africa at the onset of the First World War, offering a glimpse into the intricate web of imperial powers that dominated the continent during this period. The map is color-coded to distinguish between various colonial empires. British colonies are represented by a striking shade of pink, while French territories are depicted in vibrant green. German possessions stand out with their bold orange hue, and Portuguese colonies are marked with regal purple. Lastly, Italian territories are denoted by an earthy brown tone.
