The Industrial Revolution
Some of the sources of conflict between European countries during the 19th and 20th centuries included space, resources, and ideology.
Totalitarianism was the policy of the government being in control of all decisions and controlling the lives of its citizens. Decolonization involved mother countries (countries in control of another country) allowing the colonies to be in control of their own destinies. Most colonization happened because many European countries were lacking in natural resources and were seeking to gain control of countries that were rich in natural resources.
Primarily it was to obtain the raw materials that existed there. At the time, much of Africa was an unexplored land with untapped resources. Since Africa was technologically inferior to Europe at the time, and the populations there mainly primitive, establishing colonies was not prohibitively difficult. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 essentially "divided up" Africa into various European colonies and spheres of influence, many of which lasted until the middle of the 20th century.
