The term "Dark Continent" historically refers to Africa, particularly in the 19th century during the European colonial period. Various European powers, including Britain, France, Belgium, and Germany, engaged in the "Scramble for Africa," leading to extensive colonization and exploitation of the continent's resources and people. Notably, King Leopold II of Belgium is infamous for his brutal regime in the Congo Free State. Ultimately, the continent was carved up among colonial powers, profoundly impacting its societies and cultures.
