The "scramble for Africa" meant that European nations wanted to get to Africa as quickly as possible and claim land because they were all competing over their overseas empire. Europeans wanted to get some land and explore Africa because they did not know a lot about Africa and its geography, calling it the "dark continent." Imperialism in Africa meant there was a new market for trading and Europeans thought it was their duty to teach their "little brothers" about industrialization and European life.

"Scramble for Africa"
Western kingdoms in Africa were successful and became overpopulated quickly. As these people migrated to the east and south, these areas became developed very quickly.
The Age of Imperialism caused a Western-educated African elite to emerge.
Western nations and Japan as well used imperialism to gain wealth and power. Japan concentrated in the area they new best, East Asia. Western Europeans focused on Africa and China. The US helped imperialism in China as well and occupied the Philippines.
The Scramble for Africa, also called the Partition of Africa, or the Conquest of Africa, was the invasion, occupation, division, and colonization of most of Africa by seven Western European powers during a short period known to historians as the New Imperialism (between 1881 and 1914).
