Well, there may be various reasons why Africa was cololized in a rush.
I believe it was because Africa had untouched resources both in terms of human and natural. And every country which believed in its power rushed to colonize Africa.
Also, it could also be because Africans were relatively undeveloped which gave European an advantage and gave them an incentive to rush.
Hope it helps!
