Map showing almost complete British control of the Cape to Cairo route, 1914
 
Map from 1913 showing an almost complete "red line" from the Cape to Cairo

Regarding this edit and the comment "Add clearer map of Africa, c1914".
Why do you think the 1914 map is clearer than the 1913 map?
(And why did you remove the reference to the "red line" from the caption?)

By-the-way: At a large scale, this map is very clear! However, at 250px it's not particularly clear at all.
PostScript: If you are interested in maps ...
While I was looking around, I discovered German WP is rich with good maps. These interested me:

And this is where I "stole" File:Afrika Kolonisation Farben 1913.png from:
