England is a demarcated area of land within the collective known as the British Isles.
Africa is continental region of Planet Earth.
And is this just another thread relative to perceivable differences relative to long since historical events.
Hey, but if reparations are involved then let's milk it for all it's worth.
Africa is extremely massive. England only owned South Africa. And even then, both sides have committed genocides on each other that reparations at this point would be one big circular hand off. The english would give it to the South Africans and then the South Africans would give it right back.

England only owned South Africa.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The Dutch had primary domain over SA, hence why Afrikaans is what the white people speak there rather than standard English of any kind as their primary language.
The British owned all these nations:
- British books and reports about East Africa & Egypt, 1815-1914
- British East Africa Company: Parliamentary Debates (Hansard), 1870-1914
- Kenya: National Assembly Official Record, 1911-present - Parliamentary records from 1911 on.
- Sudan: British Government Gazettes, 1899-1975
- Sudan - Mahdist War: British Army Intelligence Reports, 1891-1903; also available for the regions of Suakin (1889-1891), Eastern Sudan (1891-1892), and the "Frontier Field Force" (1889-1892). See more about the Mahdist War.
- Boer War: Books from 1880-1914; Archival documents from the Anglo-Boer War Museum; Parliamentary Debates (1898-1904)
- Botswana (Bechuanaland) - Books & serials from 1880-1914 about Botswana.
- Cecil Rhodes - Books from 1880-1914 by/about the notoriously racist British leader of South Africa and "Rhodesia" (i.e. Zambia & Zimbabwe). Note: many more sources on Rhodes are available within the full-texts of books, magazines & newspapers.
- Lesotho (Basutoland) - Books from 1815-1914
- Malawi (Nyasaland/Central African Protectorate) - Books from 1815-1914
- Zambia & Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) - Books from 1815-1914 on the former British colonies of North & South Rhodesia.
- South Africa - Digitized Archives from U. Witwatersrand - Includes numerous historical manuscript collections, for example Letters related to Zululand (1882-8), Papers of Colonial Officer Donald Rolfe Hunt, and many more.
- South Africa - Books - Books from 1815-1914 on South Africa and the Cape Colony. To search within this large group of items, click "Revise Search."
- Zulus & the Zulu War - Books from 1815-1914; Academic articles on Zulus, 1815-1914
- Gambia - books published 1815-1914
- Gold Coast (now Ghana) - books published 1815-1914
- Nigeria - books published 1815-1914
- Royal Nigerian Company: British Parliamentary Debates (Hansard)
- Sierra Leone - books published 1815-1914
Their 'dominion' in South Africa was nowhere near total and the Dutch owned it the most and had the most impact.

Ah. Thanks for the sources and the history lesson. I have to admit I only learned about Russian ownership of Africa in history class. So I was going based off what South Africans told me. The gross majority of them speak british english so I just figured Great Britsin always owned South Africa.
I'll have to check that stuff out.
