The end of colonization in Africa was only accelerated by the passage of the Wind of Change bills in the United Empire with unprecedented voting from the native people for varied political parties rather than just left-wing groups. This undermined the biggest argument against the integration of colonies into their overlords that it would lead to left wing dominance from waves of black voters in Africa. The main argument against establishing independent states in Africa was still strong and nearly impossible to surmount. That being that by decolonizing they would weaken themselves as the demands for the Goa'uld War grew with the Replicators storming the fringes of the galaxy. Now each nation reacted to this in different ways and we have to look at them individually to understand the many conflicts that broke out across the continent.

Starting with the most peaceful Italy had absolutely ensured ethnic dominance over their colony since around 1932 I think don't have the exact date on me. But with their ethnic dominance and thus, integration of the colony into the Kingdom of Italy in the last few years of King Victor Emmanuel III. The south of Libya seceded in late 1955 to form the Kingdom of the Sahara a Tuareg majority state which would expand across the rest of the Sahara as France's colonial Empire collapsed in the maelstrom of the late 1960's. The natives of Libya maintained a minor presence in the political sphere, but the Italian majority managed to successfully keep down the natives through sheer numerical dominance.

Next up Portugal, which had an interesting history with their colonies in Angola, Mozambique, and Portuguese Guinea. Angola had a divide between the coast and the interior with the Portuguese having managed to secure ethnic dominance over the majority of the coast with a few scattered enclaves on the coast. The interior began to degrade following the Congolese Spring with more and more people joining organizations demanding impendence for Angola. Some of the more militant groups were able to wage a guerrilla war from the heart of the nation though several peaceful groups opened negotiations with the Portuguese in late 1957. Then a series of terrorist attacks crippled the ability for the moderates to interact with the Portuguese which led to the long, bloody, and terrifying Angolan Emergency. To the north in Portuguese Guinea the Portuguese managed to develop the region enough that the native people found that it was better off to remain under the control of the Kingdom of Portugal. Mozambique was nothing but an absolute bloodbath the local administration had really irritated the local people and just driving it straight into the ground through a series of major cock-ups when interacting with the locals.

Now in the large French colonial Empire there was nothing more than oppression the withdrawal from Indochina led to a massive backlash from the French populace towards much harsher actions to the native people of Africa. In the parts of Algeria that they had not directly annexed following the Battle of Earth they cracked down on anyone who supported say pan-Arabism and dragged them out into the wild and blew their brains out or threw them out of a Death Glider into the Atlantic Ocean a few times. In Tunisia they enforced permanent martial law and often forced the natives to work often without pay to fuel the French war effort. In French West Africa they enforced less draconian measures, but they still cracked down on any measures demanding rights for the people. In French East Africa they actually did not have that many problems since Madagascar and Djibouti both had a large military presence due to their vital strategic positions. This allowed the French to enforce martial law in the regions without to much notice from the rest of the world except for the Empire of Ethiopia. Who constantly complained about the increased French presence especially after several Ethiopian citizens were killed by the French for accidentally crossing the border.

The Germans had quite possibly the harshest policy towards their natives having successfully conducted the Herero and Namaqua genocide wiping out those two ethnic groups within Deutsch-Südwestafrika. This alongside waves of German settlers being granted large swathes of land and cattle secured complete dominance over Südwestafrika which is why they still own that region. In Deutsch-Ostafrika they had a slightly lighter policy in that they committed cultural genocide and not ethnic genocide so only slightly better like how stabbing someone in the brain is better then torturing them to death. This led to massive protests by the native people following the Congolese Spring and the Germans surprisingly decided to slowly liberalize under one Hans Schenck but very slowly. They still have a lot of influence in the Ostafrikan states. In Kameron, the Congolese Spring had a large effect, so they decided to withdraw slowly establishing around four provisional governments before their final withdrawal in late 1964. In Togoland they had long since secured ethnic dominance mainly from old people moving south for some sun during their twilight years.

-Transcript of a rambling conversation about the effects of the Congolese Spring.

The initial Replicator assault on the Milky Way galaxy was caused by the Asgard managing to defeat the Replicators in battle after battle following the development of destroyers following the Treaty of New Windsor. The Replications had decided to abandon the Othala galaxy following the wave of defeats inflicted upon them by the Asgard. The Replicators split into three great fleets one headed out to the Milky Way galaxy, one to the Pegasus galaxy where they ran into the Wraith, and one just vanished we don't know where it ended up in the grand scheme of things. The initial wave into the Milky Way slammed right into the rear of the Goa'uld where they eliminated several key worlds permanently. This needles to say was not good for the Goa'uld and alongside the collapse of their trade networks, the brutal methods of Anubis, and the stalwart attacks of the allies crippled the ability for the Goa'uld to fight and it was all building up for a single great event. The Goa'uld Collapse.
