In the rush to claim colonial territories in the 19th century, European powers often battled among themselves. They took whatever territory they wanted in order to exploit the wealth of natural resources. Borders were eventually drawn by begrudging agreements between the European powers. One of the more comprehensive attempts was the Berlin Conference (1884-1885) during the early stages of what was called the Scramble for Africa (1881-1914).
