In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, major European nations engaged in a period known as the "Scramble for Africa," where they sought to expand their empires by colonizing vast territories on the African continent. This competition was driven by the desire for economic resources, strategic advantages, and national prestige. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 formalized the process, establishing rules for the colonization of Africa and intensifying rivalries among European powers. As a result, most of Africa was divided among Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, and other nations.
The economy in Africa changed significantly due to European colonization. European powers exploited Africa's resources for their own benefit, leading to the extraction of natural resources, forced labor, and the establishment of trade networks that favored European countries. This exploitation disrupted traditional African economies and led to the impoverishment of many African communities. Additionally, the introduction of cash crops and the imposition of taxes further disrupted local economies and led to a dependence on European markets. Overall, European colonization had a detrimental impact on the economic development of Africa.
