  • 03/07/08 The Scramble for Territory
  • European powers were in a race to claim African
    territory
  • The colonial powers (European powers) used
    national flags to claim land
  • The colonial powers claimed colonies without
    knowing exactly how it would benefit them
  • Territories were unknown and few colonies
    benefited from colonial powers that controlled
    them
  • Britain had a head start in acquiring lands, and
    the other colonial powers resented this unfair
    privilege and scrambled to try and catch up
  • At the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, the
    European powers divided African territory
    amongst themselves and agreed on a colonial map
    of Africa
