What If Africa Colonized Europe?

In this alternate timeline, African empires like Mali, Ethiopia, and Great Zimbabwe unite by 1400 through trade, diplomacy, and shared innovation, leading to a powerful Pan-African Confederation. This unity sparks a golden age of exploration, with advanced African fleets reaching and engaging with Europe peacefully by the early 1400s. However, tensions rise as European powers, threatened by Africa’s influence, launch attacks, prompting a full-scale war led by the Unified African Coalition against the European Continental Alliance. Africa dominates the seas and nearly overtakes southern Europe, but prolonged warfare, harsh winters, and guerrilla resistance lead to a long, brutal stalemate. Ultimately, while Africa controls maritime trade and shapes a new world order, neither side fully triumphs, and the war's legacy reshapes global politics and memory.
