¨Imperialists gained control of Africa through many different steps. They already had trading posts on costal areas which they used as harbors when making transatlantic journeys or going to Southeast Asia. They also had ties with African traders who traded good and slaves. In the late 1800s, explorers were sent into the continent to explore geography, resources, and what kind of people lived there. Doing this, they discovered there were over 700 ethnic groups that lived there and were different from each other with their own languages and cultures. With the help of this information, the Europeans 'Scrambled for Africa' and ended up dividing it between the different empires.

The main goal of imperialists in Africa was to expand their empires and exploit the continent's vast resources for economic gain. This included the extraction of valuable minerals, agricultural products, and raw materials, which were then used to fuel industrial growth in Europe. Additionally, imperialists sought to establish political control and spread their cultural and religious beliefs, often justifying their actions through notions of racial superiority and the civilizing mission. Ultimately, this led to significant social, economic, and political changes in African societies.
