Scramble for Africa
When I think about "Scramble for Africa," I first think about the Berlin Conference. The Berlin Conference was held by various European countries to split up Africa into their own territories. Since the voyage by Portugal, many European countries were in need of natural resources and raw material, and Africa was the perfect place to settle on. In order to "fairly" split up Africa, the European countries held a meeting to discuss this matter.

I also wrote about the Berlin Conference and the different countries fought over the land. I also commented on th natural resources that each country stripped Africa of. Africans had no sa on this issue.
