The document summarizes the colonization of Africa by European powers between the 15th-early 20th centuries. It describes how Portugal, France, Britain, and other countries gradually established colonies along the coast in the 1400s-1700s by founding trading ports. In the late 1800s, the Scramble for Africa began as European nations rapidly divided up the interior of the continent at the Berlin Conference in 1885 due to growing imperialism and rivalry over Africa's resources. By 1900, Europe had colonized almost all of Africa, radically transforming the political boundaries and society, with both negative and positive impacts lasting to this day.

CAMBRIDGE AS HISTORY: BERLIN CONFERENCE. A presentation suitable for Paper 2, Scramble for Africa,. It contains: European competition for Africa, spheres of influence, Otto von Bismarck, Africa as a domain, the Congo free state, the results of colonisation, massacre in Congo, a demographic disaster.
Imperialism is very similar to colonialism, with one major difference: colonial powers settle the countries of which they gain control, while imperial powers do not. The term âimperialismâ does not seem to exist prior to the 1800s. Nineteenth-century imperialism was spurred in large part by the Industrial Revolution. The development of new industrial economies in the 1700s and 1800s necessitated the acquisition of raw materials and the desire to gain control of marketplaces; thus, by the mid-1800s, imperialistic actions of strong nations (most notably European nations) started to become policy.

From the late 19th century onwards Industrial powers began to use their advanced economies, armies and technology to take over territories with no state organisation.
Between 1870 and 1914 they created huge colonial empires in Africa, Asia and Oceania.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empireâs society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. The Seeds are Planted
⢠The Portuguese began the first colonies in
Africa in the 1400s.
⢠In 1659, the Dutch founded the Cape Colony
on Africaâs southern tip in 1659.
⢠In the 1600s, France founded the colony of
Saint Louis in todayâs Senegal.
⢠The British started to colonize Africa in the
1700s.

imperialism
When most European nations ended slavery in
the early______, they shifted their focus to
trading goods such as gold, ivory,
and____________.
Soon after,the European powers divided up
most of Africa. They used ______________to
keep power. This is a policy of taking over other
countriesâ governmentâs trade, and culture.
5. From Trading to Controlling
⢠After the slave trade was abolished in
West Africa, Europeans continued to
come to Africa in search of resources
for their factories in Europe.
⢠Originally, Europeans traded with
Africans for the resources they
needed. However, Europeans would
eventually begin to colonize, or take
over, land and resources in Africa.
⢠Before 1880, Europe had colonized only
5% of Africa, mainly along the western
coast.
6. The Scramble Begins
⢠Beginning in the 1880s, the colonization of
Africa rapidly increased.
⢠Several factors led to the colonization boom.
â The Industrial Revolution led European
countries to hunt for raw materials needed to
develop products.
â Methods of transportation improved.
â Several European countries became engaged in
a growing colonial rivalry with each other.
â Europeans began signing treaties with African
tribal leaders.
⢠The carving up of Africa by Europeans
became known as the âScramble for Africa.â
7. Reasons for Colonialism
⢠Despite Europeans involvement in the
Slave Trade Europeans usually relied on
Africans to trade slaves instead of
colonizing the continent.
⢠By the 1880s every major nation in the
world had abolished the institution of
slavery.
⢠Europeans found a new interest in Africa.
⢠Africa is a continent of vast wealth.
8. âThe Scramble for Africaâ
⢠In order to avoid armed conflict with each
other, leaders of several European countries
met at the Berlin Conference in 1885.
⢠At the conference, rules were created to
determine how European countries could
claim African land.
⢠They agreed to carve up Africa into vast
empires, ignoring the rights of the African
people already living in these areas.
⢠By 1900, most of Africa had been colonized
by the Europeans. Only Liberia and the
Empire of Ethiopia remained independent.
9. In 1884 at the request of
Portugal, German chancellor
Otto von Bismark called
together the major western
powers of the world to
negotiate questions and end
confusion over the control of
Africa. Bismark appreciated
the opportunity to expand
Germany's sphere of
influence over Africa and
desired to force Germany's
rivals to struggle with one
another for territory. At the
time of the conference, 80%
of Africa remained under
traditional and local control.
The Berlin ConferenceThe Berlin Conference
10. "The Berlin Conference was
Africa's undoing in more
ways than one. The colonial
powers superimposed their
domains on the African
continent. By the time
independence returned to
Africa in 1950, the realm had
acquired a legacy of political
fragmentation that could
neither be eliminated nor
made to operate
satisfactorily."*
The Berlin ConferenceThe Berlin Conference
11. The _______controlled much of East Africa.
Large numbers of Europeans settled in Kenya.
But most colonial rulers used African deputies
to control the countries. Many deputies were
traditional chiefs. They often favored their
own peoples. This caused conflict between
ethnic groups.

12. Colonialism
⢠Colonialism is forced control of one nation by
another nation.
⢠Beginning in the early 19th
Century, Europeans
aggressively tried to establish colonies in Africa.
⢠Colony is when a nation establishes a government
under its rule in a foreign territory.
⢠Imperialism is empire building. Expansion occurs
when one state is more powerful than are the
obstacles to expansion. European civilization
experienced a period of unprecedented rapid
expansion around the globe during the last third of
the nineteenth century.

15. Positive European
Reasons for Colonialism
1. Colonies provided Europe with strategic
military and economic advantages.
2. Europe received minerals and other natural
resources (diamonds, gold, cotton, ivory,
and other natural resources) which fed the
Industrial Revolution
3. Europeans had access to cheap labor
4. Open up new trading markets for European
goods.
5. Spread Christianity throughout the
continent.

Africa draws heavily
from its colonial
history. Many of the
countries that were
once part of the former
French, Spanish, and
Portuguese colonies
are Roman Catholic
while Protestant

â African farmers were forced to grow cash crops
like cocoa and coffee, causing there to be a
shortage of food in many areas of Africa.
â Africans were forced to work under terrible
conditions on plantations, railways, and logging.
â In order to gain power, Europeans encouraged
Africans to fight against each other.
â New political boundaries caused ethnic groups to
clash.
â This has led to ethnic and political unrest in Africa
today.
