Well here again,
German East Africa, or Tanganyka: it is the only non-British territory on the easiest way from South Africa to the Mediterranean. It was one of the tensions leading to WW1, since the British wanted to build the critically important Cape-to-Cairo trans-African railway, while Tanganyika was in the hands of the Germans.
In other side: And also, most of Africa is in ruins because after independence most countries in Africa aligned with the France, Soviet Union, and kept on having coups detat all the time.
Unlike South Africa or Northern Maghreb that didn't got too involved in communist stuff and slowly recovered.
