Well Caesar couldn't do it anyway. Cause Africans had equal type of weapons that roman empire had. Napoleon had guns and cannons that Africans only fight with shields and spears. Guns and cannons can blow away those stupid African tribes. Just like the Brits were no match against Zulu. So they surrendered.

he didnt have the forces. Africa is a massive place and difficult to conquor much less hold. most of the territory that Alexander or Seizer had was mostly in name. the locals were always good paying the taxes and just wanted to be left alone.
