The Scramble for Africa

• Students (European colonial powers) become caught
  up in a competitive race to claim pieces of
  furniture (African territory) in the other side
  of the room (Africa).
• The students (colonial powers) used flags
  (national flags) to stake their claim.
• The students (colonial powers) claimed furniture
  (colonies) without knowing exactly how it would
  benefit them (territories were
  unknown and few colonies reaped any benefit for
  the colonial powers at the time).

The Scramble for Africa

• One group of students (Britain) had directions
  that told the group to start sooner (Britain had
  a head start in acquiring colonies) and other
  students (other colonial powers) resented this
  unfair privilege and scrambled to try and catch
  up.
• The students (colonial powers) discussed the
  fairness of the scramble and who should keep what
  furniture (the Berlin conference of 1884-1885, in
  which Europeans divided African territory amongst
  themselves and agreed on a colonial map of
  Africa).

European Motives

• Though colonial empires dated back hundreds of
  years, the rapid drive for colonies at the end of
  the 19th century led Europe to gain political
  control of most of Asia and Africa. Between 1880
  and 1914, European nations scrambled to divide
  among themselves virtually the entire continent
  of Africa, except Liberia and Ethiopia. Once
  European nations carved up empires, they quickly
  set up colonial governments to rule them and
  systems to make them profitable.

8
European Motives

• European imperialism brought modern inventions
  and techniques of the Industrial Revolution to
  the non-European world. But, to peoples in Asia
  and Africa, Western expansion represented a
  profoundly disruptive assault. Imperialist
  nations relied on force to conquer and rule, and
  treated non-Western peoples as racial inferiors.
  Further, European domination often destroyed
  traditional economies and traditional ways of
  life. By the early 1900s, leaders in colonial
  territories such as Africa began to organize
  nationalist movements aimed at ending colonial
  rule. A majority of nations colonized during the
  late 1900s gained their independence from
  European rule after World War II.
