The year turned to 1905 in the blink of an eye. At that time, the Russo-Japanese War had not yet ended, and the African region was also unstable. In addition to the Southern German Kingdom busy with westward expansion, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom were also intensifying their infiltration of West and North Africa. Spain and Portugal constantly strengthened military forces in their African colonies to protect their dwindling colonies, plunging the whole of West and North Africa into chaos.
In contrast, the situation around East Africa was generally good. Although Italy had some designs on the Abyssinia Empire, it had already turned into an economic colony of East Africa, and its security was naturally assured by East Africa, the big brother. Thus, a potential regional dispute quietly dissipated with East Africa's mediation.
