African civilizations were not primitive; rather, they were diverse and sophisticated, with rich histories, complex societies, and advanced technologies. From the ancient kingdoms of Egypt and Mali to the city-states of the Swahili Coast, these cultures developed their own systems of governance, trade, art, and science. European thoughts often misrepresented African civilizations through a colonial lens, overlooking their achievements and contributions to human history. In reality, African societies had their own forms of knowledge and innovation that were just as advanced as those in Europe.

The European scramble for African territories was primarily triggered by a combination of economic interests, political competition, and the desire for national prestige during the late 19th century. The Industrial Revolution increased the demand for raw materials and new markets, prompting European powers to seek control over African resources. Additionally, the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 formalized the rules for colonization, leading to intense competition among European nations to claim and exploit African land. This period marked a significant expansion of imperialism, driven by both strategic and ideological motives, including the belief in the superiority of European civilization.

"Heart of Darkness" portrays African culture negatively by depicting the indigenous people as primitive, barbaric, and dehumanized. The novel perpetuates colonialist stereotypes, treating Africans as objects to be exploited and dehumanized by European colonizers. It presents African culture as savage and devoid of civilization, reinforcing racist ideas prevalent during the time it was written.
