The race for African colonies was so fierce that Europeans became afraid wars would break out
In 1884, 14 nations met at the Congress of Berlin to “set the rules” for colonizing in Africa
Quick class discussion: What kind of rules do you think they came up with?
Any nation could claim land in Africa by notifying other nations & showing it could control the area
No African nations were invited to attend; No concern was given to ethic divisions in Africa
