Why does Namibia extend east toward the Zambezi, while The Gambia forms a narrow corridor along a river? This episode follows two map shapes to examine how colonial power operated through terrain, trade ambitions, navigation, and contested territorial decisions. It considers Germany’s pursuit of access to the Zambezi through the Caprivi Strip, the 1889 Anglo-French arrangement around the River Gambia, resistance from local rulers during later boundary work, and the continuing role of colonial-era outlines in Africa’s contemporary political map. The episode distinguishes broad continental patterns from the specific local histories behind individual boundary lines.
