in the early 1880s, pierre savorgnan de brazza was exploring the kingdom of kongo for france, at the same time henry morton stanley explored it on behalf of leopold ii of belgium, who would have it as his personal congo free state (see section below). france occupied tunisia in may 1881, which may have convinced italy to join the german-austrian dual alliance in 1882, thus forming the triple alliance. the same year, britain occupied egypt (hitherto an autonomous state owing nominal fealty to the ottoman empire), which ruled over sudan and parts of chad, eritrea, and somalia. in 1884, germany declared togoland, the cameroons and south west africa to be under its protection; and france occupied guinea. french west africa (aof) was founded in 1895, and french equatorial africa in 1910.
