The African Crusade[]
As British colonial interests grew larger and larger, new land with potential to expand and exploit was in need, the British crown had long thought of the stories of William the conqueror, and the legends of the Crusades, they looked back at Christian history and thought about the Christian lands that had now long been conquered by the Muslims.
Africa was at a geopolitical and historically disadvantaged position- The continent was isolated and technologically inferior, the British on the other hand had invested heavily into their naval fleets and begun sending missionaries to the coast of Ghana in order to establish colonial ports, often clashing with the Portuguese.An African colony particularly interested the British burgher class, as it would ease access to the British slave trade, slaves were imported from Africa usually as plantation manpower for their Caribbean colonies.
Special crusader missions to Africa[]
Ports in the west African coast, specifically in the Gambia river and coast of Benin would become extremely profitable, this gave the British crown the reason they needed to embark on their dreams of Christian reconquest.By the start of the 16th century, the King of England would begin giving out special crusade missions to the conquerors and nobles who were willing to accept them, and venture into the dark continent in pursuit of ultimate glory.
One would stand amongst all, the most valiant Knight of the British crown and infamous conqueror, sir Oliver Cromwell, who would be responsible for the victories of England against the Benin Sultanate, and the Hausa tribes.He would found an important settlement around lake chad, which would develop into the modern city of Cromwellburgh, in the Upper Congo.Specifically, the dominion of Upper Congo would be an example for the British colonizers, an exemplary colony.Many would follow in his footsteps, Algeria, the Sudan, the Ivory Coast and others would become parts of the British Empire as the centuries progressed, and quinine was invented, the medicine that significantly aided the colonization of Africa.
