What was the main reason European countries colonized Africa in the 19th century?
Primarily it was to obtain the raw materials that existed there. At the time, much of Africa was an unexplored land with untapped resources. Since Africa was technologically inferior to Europe at the time, and the populations there mainly primitive, establishing colonies was not prohibitively difficult. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 essentially "divided up" Africa into various European colonies and spheres of influence, many of which lasted until the middle of the 20th century.
What were the roles of totalitarianism and decolonization have in the twentieth century?
Totalitarianism was the policy of the government being in control of all decisions and controlling the lives of its citizens.

Most colonization happened because many European countries were lacking in natural resources and were seeking to gain control of countries that were rich in natural resources.

How did European countries set up colonies?
European countries established colonies primarily through exploration, trade, and military conquest from the late 15th century onwards.
