King Leopold
Fearing they would miss out
on various raw materials, the
other European nations
scrambled to establish their
presence on the continent.
In 1884, to avoid conflict amongst themselves, European
leaders met at the Berlin Conference to set up rules for
colonizing Africa. No Africans were invited.

The European powers agreed that before they could claim
territory they would have to set up an outpost. Whoever was
the first to build the outpost gained that area of land.

Cape Colony
In the mid-1600s, Dutch
farmers known as Boers
settled in southern Africa
in Cape Colony. The
Boers built Cape Town
as a supply station.
In the 1700s, the Dutch
herders and ivory
hunters began to move
north. The British then
acquired Cape Colony in
the early 1800s.

In the late 1800s, the discovery of gold
and diamonds in the northern Boer
territory set off the Anglo-Boer war.
The war was
from 1899-1902
and involved
bitter guerrilla
fighting. The
British won, but
at a great cost.

In Africa
By 1914
Britain’s claims in
Africa were second in
size only to France,
but included heavily
populated areas with
greater natural
resources.British
Territory
Britain controlled
Egypt because of its
strategic location.
France was very
powerful in North
Africa, and later
spread into West and
Central Africa. The
territory France
controlled was as
large as the United
States.
French
Territory
The newly formed
German empire had to
fight many battles
against African natives
to take lands in the
southern half of Africa.
German
Territory
Germany would lose
its colonial territories
after its loss in World
War I.
The Italians crossed
the Mediterranean and
conquered Libya. They
then took Somaliland in
the horn of Africa, but
were beaten badly by
the Ethiopians.Italian
Territory
King Leopold and other
wealthy Belgians
exploited the riches of
the Congo, and
brutalized the natives.
Many Africans were
enslaved, beaten, and
killed.

Although the leaders of
the old imperialism, the
African claims of the
Portuguese and
Spanish were minimal.

After the slave trade was outlawed, abolitionists in the United
States promoted the idea of returning freed slaves to Africa.
Independent Africans
In the early 1800s, President Monroe
helped free slaves settle in Liberia. The
former slaves named the capital city
Monrovia in his honor.

The Ethiopians kept their freedom through a successful military
resistance. Emperor Menelik II modernized the army, along
with roads, bridges, and schools.
When the Italians invaded they
were defeated so badly by
Menelik that no other Europeans
tried to take Ethiopia.
