Africa was the last continent to be explored.
Till the nineteenth century.
Africa was called the dark continent because nobody knew what was inside it. The only people who had explored it were the portugals and they had only made contact with a few coastal villages. This was in the 1600's or so and when the 1800's and 1900's rolled around, people began to ponder over the vast land. This lead to the discovery of diamonds, ruby, etc and thus lead thus triggered the scramble for Africa.
