The "scramble for Africa" was the series of conflicts among the European colonial powers, beginning with France's annexation of Tunisia in May 1881, and ending with the start of World War I in 1914. Although African colonies had been expanding since the late 1790's, they gained increased importance as the countries of Europe jockeyed for dominance in world affairs.
