When the “scramble for Africa” took place, a rapid European colonization of the Africa continent (including all African tribes and residents) occurred.
What was the history of scramble for Africa?
The phrase "Scramble for Africa" was also known as Partition of Africa, or Conquest of Africa, it referred to the invasion, annexation, division and colonization of most of Africa countries by seven Western European powers during a short period known as New Imperialism (between 1881 and 1914). The 10% of Africa which was under formal European control in 1870 increased to almost 90 percent by 1914 with only Liberia and Abyssinia remaining independent.
The Berlin Conference of 1884 which regulated European colonization and trade in Africa was seen as the beginning. During the last quarter of 19th century, there were considerable political rivalries within the empires of the European continent which lead to the African continent being partitioned without wars between European nations.
