The colonization of Africa was part of a worldwide drive to provide new resources and markets for Europe, usually at the expense of less-developed civilizations. Countries that did not initially seek colonies were drawn into the process, to maintain economic parity with the countries that did. Africa in particular offered manpower in the form of slaves, or African natives working in their homelands under colonial occupation.
