Berlin, Conference of, 1884-85, international meeting aimed at settling the problems connected with European colonies in Africa. At the invitation of the German chancellor Otto von Bismarck, representatives of all European nations, the United States, and the Ottoman Empire met at Berlin to consider problems arising out of European penetration of W Africa. The stated purpose of the meeting was to guarantee free trade and navigation on the Congo and on the lower reaches of the Niger. In fact, the territorial adjustments made among the powers were the important result. The sovereignty of Great Britain over S Nigeria was recognized. The claims of the International Association, a private corporation controlled by King Leopold II of Belgium, were more or less recognized; these applied to the greater part of the Congo. These territorial awards ignored French claims to parts of the Congo and of Nigeria and the historical claim of Portugal to the mouth of the Congo. The attempts to guarantee free trade and the neutrality of the region in wartime and to set up rules for future colonial expansion in Africa were hailed, but soon the agreements proved too vague to be workable.

The European powers, when agreeing on their spheres of influence in the Berlin Congress of 1885 had to create boundaries, because Africa was a collection of thousands of tribal lands that - certainly south of the Sahara - simply did not know the concept of nationality, nor the idea of fixed boundaries. The 'natural' boundaries of tribal lands were often hotly contested and the ubiquitous slavery all over Africa (long after the 'Western' nations had abandoned it) was a result of those endless tribal conflicts.The European-drawn boundaries had the result - that by the way for the most part only became a problem after the nations' independence around 1960 - that traditionally hostile tribes were now thrown together in one nation-State and forced to cooperate and divide power peacefully. Also, the European boundaties sometimes cut straight across tribal lands, causing a tribe to be divided over two States.
South Africa is currently a member of the African Union and the United Nations.
