Africa.
The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 sought to partition the African continent among European powers. It resulted in the carving up of Africa without the consent of its inhabitants, leading to the colonization and exploitation of the continent's resources.
The Berlin Conference of 1884-85 was a conference that met to regulate colonization in Africa. It also met to regulate European trade on the continent. The outcome was the General Act of the Berlin Conference. This began a period of more colonial activity by Europeans by which they overtook the African countries.
The meeting in 1884 of 14 European nations to determine rules for dividing Africa was called the Berlin Conference. At this conference, rules were established for the colonization and division of Africa among the European powers.
Africa is directly south of the European continent.
The Berlin Conference saw the continent of Africa divided and parceled out to the different colonial countries. The Conference established colonial rule in Africa and led to the exploitation of African resources.
The European Partitoning was a result of the Berlin conference. this was wen Africa was divided by the European powers.
The Berlin Conference of 1885 established the principle of effective occupation, which stipulated that European powers could claim territory in Africa only if they had established a presence there. This led to the "Scramble for Africa," where various European nations rapidly divided the continent among themselves without consideration for indigenous populations or existing political boundaries. The conference also aimed to regulate European colonization and trade in Africa, although it primarily served to legitimize imperial ambitions. Ultimately, the conference had profound and lasting impacts on African societies and geopolitics.
