"The Scramble for Africa"

Some people think that African Imperialisms is the British going into Africa and taking over the land and the African People. But that’s not true European imperialisms are many of the European nations going into Africa and trying to establish their colony there. From what I the scramble of Africa is when many of the European nations went into Africa and broke apart different nations to make their colony and now day’s countries, which were caused by the European nations. So basically I would say the scramble for Africa is the fighting of different European nations for land in Africa.
There were many nations involved with The Scramble of Africa but a few major nations are France, Britain, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Italy. All these nations were looking for land and raw materials in Africa. Land was the major thing these nations were looking for. Britain and France had most of the African land, France had most of the north - eastern African land and Britain had some land North - East, some land South - West, and some was all over Africa. Belgium had the least amount of land in Africa.
All these nations were looking for raw materials for their factories in Britain and land to manufacture more good. European nations were able to so easily dominate Africa because they had many technological advances. The Europeans had automatic guns, cannons, much more destructive weapons and stuff like binoculars and compasses.
This scramble really badly affected the African people. This is because when European countries put borders to make different countries in Africa they would some times put two enemy tribes together or split up two really friendly tribes. This wasn't really good for the people because if tribes in two different countries go to war then much powerful countries like Britain and France might have to go to war also.
