Africa was the continent most divided by European imperial expansion, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 formalized the partitioning of Africa among European powers, leading to the establishment of arbitrary borders that disregarded ethnic and cultural boundaries. This division resulted in significant political and social upheaval, impacts that are still felt in many African countries today.
The term "Dark Continent" historically refers to Africa, particularly in the 19th century during the European colonial period. Various European powers, including Britain, France, Belgium, and Germany, engaged in the "Scramble for Africa," leading to extensive colonization and exploitation of the continent's resources and people. Notably, King Leopold II of Belgium is infamous for his brutal regime in the Congo Free State. Ultimately, the continent was carved up among colonial powers, profoundly impacting its societies and cultures.
Africa, especially central and southern Africa, was divided among European colonial powers in the late 19th century, and its native peoples conquered or controlled.
The Scramble for Africa was a period during the New Imperialism period where the continent of Africa was invaded occupied and colonized by the major European powers.
