What was the first country to prompt an all-out land grab in Africa by other European powers?
The first country to prompt an all-out land grab in Africa by other European powers was Belgium, specifically under King Leopold II. His exploitation of the Congo Free State in the late 19th century exposed the region's vast resources and led to intense interest and competition among European nations, culminating in the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885. This conference formalized the "Scramble for Africa," where various powers divided the continent among themselves, often with little regard for indigenous populations.
