The "Scramble for Africa" refers to the rapid colonization and partitioning of the African continent by European powers during the late 19th century, particularly from the 1880s to the early 1900s. Driven by economic interests, nationalism, and a desire for expansion, countries such as Britain, France, Germany, and Belgium competed to claim territories, often disregarding existing cultures and governance. This period significantly altered Africa's political, social, and economic landscapes, leading to long-lasting impacts that are still felt today.

How does the term ''scramble for Africa'' represents imperialism?

The "scramble for Africa" meant that European nations wanted to get to Africa as quickly as possible and claim land because they were all competing over their overseas empire. Europeans wanted to get some land and explore Africa because they did not know a lot about Africa and its geography, calling it the "dark continent." Imperialism in Africa meant there was a new market for trading and Europeans thought it was their duty to teach their "little brothers" about industrialization and European life.
