European nations scrambled to colonize Africa in the late 19th century over fears of missing out on the continent's raw materials. At the 1884 Berlin Conference, European powers divided up Africa without African representation and agreed to claim territories by establishing outposts. By 1914, Europe had colonized over 90% of Africa, exploiting its resources and altering African societies, though Ethiopia and Liberia maintained independence through military resistance.

The document discusses the colonization of Africa by European powers between the 15th-20th centuries. It outlines how Portugal established the first colonies in the 1400s, followed by other European nations seeking resources like gold, ivory and slaves. By the 1880s, European powers divided up most of Africa through treaties with local leaders. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 formalized the colonial boundaries, ignoring African peoples' rights and leading to political fragmentation in Africa. By 1900, most of the continent was under European rule except for Ethiopia and Liberia.

Europeans first colonized parts of Africa in the 16th century to establish ports for trade. Over subsequent centuries, European powers increased their control and exploitation of Africa through the slave trade, imperialism seeking Africa's natural resources, and nationalism/competition between European nations. At the 1884 Berlin Conference, European powers arbitrarily divided Africa among themselves without African representation and ignored cultural/political boundaries, laying the foundation for ongoing ethnic conflicts. Colonial rule oppressed Africans through forced labor and cash crops until independence movements in the mid-20th century.

The document discusses Africa before and during the period of European imperialism. It describes how early interactions involved trading between Africans and Europeans, with Africans controlling the trade. It then explains how the slave trade developed and how Europeans gained power through technological advances like quinine, steam engines, and maxim guns. Finally, it summarizes how European countries colonized Africa following the Berlin Conference where they arbitrarily divided the continent without African representation.

Africa is the second largest continent, with diverse geography, climate and people. It has experienced a long history including ancient civilizations, colonization by European powers and the growth of new nations. Today, Africa faces challenges such as poverty, corruption, disease and conflict, but also shows signs of economic development and cooperation through organizations like the African Union. Key facts are its location surrounding the equator, the Sahara and other deserts, diverse ethnic groups and languages, and important rivers like the Nile.

The document summarizes the colonization of Africa by European powers between the 15th-early 20th centuries. It describes how Portugal, France, Britain, and other countries gradually established colonies along the coast in the 1400s-1700s by founding trading ports. In the late 1800s, the Scramble for Africa began as European nations rapidly divided up the interior of the continent at the Berlin Conference in 1885 due to growing imperialism and rivalry over Africa's resources. By 1900, Europe had colonized almost all of Africa, radically reshaping the political boundaries and causing lasting negative impacts through exploitation and ethnic division, though some new infrastructure was also established.

The document summarizes the colonization of Africa by European powers between the 15th-early 20th centuries. It describes how Portugal, France, Britain, and other countries gradually established colonies along the coast in the 1400s-1700s by founding trading ports. In the 1800s, Europeans increasingly sought Africa's natural resources and used imperialism to divide the continent. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 formalized the colonial boundaries, ignoring Africa's political structures. By 1900, only Ethiopia and Liberia remained independent as Europe had colonized the rest.

The document is a chapter from a textbook about Africa's history. It is divided into 5 sections: Africa's First People, Kingdoms and Empires, The Conquest of Africa, Independence and Its Challenges, and Issues for Africa Today. The sections describe how early humans in Africa transitioned from hunter-gatherers to farmers and builders of civilizations along the Nile River. They also discuss the rise of powerful West and East African kingdoms and empires centered around trade, and how European colonization eventually led to control over most of Africa by the early 20th century.

1. Extended families headed by the eldest male were common in African farming and herding communities. Kinship ties encouraged a strong sense of community. 2. Small villages typically made decisions through public discussion aimed at consensus. Elders made final decisions. 3. Most Africans were subsistence farmers, growing crops to feed their families. Women had various roles like farming, childrearing, and preparing daughters for marriage, though their social status varied between cultures.
