1880s–1900s Western European colonisation of Africa
The Scramble for Africa refers to the rapid colonization of the African continent by Western European powers between the 1880s and 1900s, in which countries like Britain, France, Germany, and Belgium competed to claim African territories and resources. It matters because this period of colonial division shaped modern African borders, economies, and societies in ways whose effects persist today.
