It would take ages

Africa is massive

Plus their combined military strength isn't negligible

It isn't the 1890s anymore

If it was I would agree with you

In my opinion fighting in africa for the length of time required is fine. You'd probably have to make extensive use of indirect killing through bombing and gas plus playing African groups off against each other.

Why would you do all of this in the first place though? Kill your men in a war for some random pieces of land in a far foreign land, while your main problem is how fucked up your country is alone

Also gotta keep convincing the people that it is worth the extra resources and thats he only thing you have to justify being send half way across the globe

To prob die in africa

Like the only reason you have is for extra resources so thats kind of a hard sell unless your in an economic downturn, but then why would you invade a far away country anyways

@anthr0pos obviously I wouldn't invade Africa until internal problems have been solved

@Juan Filly the main advantage is lebensraum and power for the nation, which any fascist would want surely...

Idk man, even africans should be allowed to have ethnostates

Maybe closer to home but in a place that far off?

Kinda a hard sell.

Imperialism interfers with the principle of preserving each culture, ethnos

^

Inevitably there would be race mixing

Also multicultural elements would have to be put in place

The only imperialism I remotely support is the USA with north and South America

Unless you want either ethnic riots

Or try to commit genocide

Can't just take africa and shake it in a bag together with Britain

You cant easily force people to change and adapt to a culture without leeway

God knows what terrible things would come out

If you kill all the native there'd be little race mixing and no mutli culturalism

Like you would have to give at least an inch to prevent total riots and by that point it kinda beats the purpose of nationalism if you have to accept bits of other cultures to precent collapsing.

Yeah have fun trying to kill that many people and not get eventually coalitioned by the entirety of the continent

Like thats alot of ground AND alot of people.

Plus the British colonial era had very little race mixing or mutli culturalism and they were more moderate.

The African continent wouldn't unite until it was too late. Because I wouldn't be genociding africans only a specific ethnic group of africans.

And unless the entire rest of the world is either apathetic or just as nationalistic how would you make sure someone wouldnt invade you at the same time due to the amount of resources you would have to spend?

And please dont say you wouldnt cause its fucking africa.

A nation's entire army wouldn't be needed to conquer one African country.

HMMMM

That really varies from country to country

Is this just one part of africa or the whole damn continent? Because I could of swore this was implying continental size

Also ^

The East African militaries are definitely better than the Central African militaries for one

I.e. Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, etc.

Bur central africa also has shit tons of just either plains or raw jungle which would have to be processed
