African Islands Still Controlled by Europe

Africa looks pretty normal when you look at it on a map. But things start to get a bit strange when you zoom in a bit closer and look at its islands. There seems to be a lot of land that's part of Europe that's on the wrong continent in Africa’s territorial waters. Both Spain and France retain possession of a number of territories in Africa in the form of islands in the Mediterranean Sea, in the Atlantic Ocean in the case of Spain, and in the Indian Ocean in the case of France. Italy, the United Kingdom and Portugal also retain possession of small islands in the Atlantic Ocean.

We already know the story of how Europe scrambled Africa and how African countries gained their independence but the primary question of this video is not what happened on Africa’s mainland or even on its seaboard but rather what happened on its oceans that resulted in this oddity so in this video i will go through the list of these awkward places which despite being on African coasts are actually owned by European countries and answer these questions
