θλιβερο μερος της ιστοριας
I wish this can happen again so I could join the conquest and take all the gold diamonds and glory. 💪🏻 🏆.
What is true until this day is that westerns doesn't have any resources of their own. Neocolonialism! Modern day slavery, trade. Smh. What makes me laugh is that , when we Africans went to any Western countries, they see us like we are the needy ones and they are the richest ones. They act like they doing us a favor or charity, the fact is one way or another, direct or indirectly it's our own resources and treasures we are using while living in Western countries! Even the road and the building, all over the countries was built by African labour. Europeans have nothing their own. Thieves.
Such a colonial perspective. Basically feeling proud of this history.
This is excellent summary and I really appreciate you history was my favorite subject

The Main Driving Force Behind European Imperialism In Africa
Has it ever come to your mind what the main Driving Force was behind the European colonization of Africa? Well, the way I see it, the main driving force was the political competition between European countries at the time. The reason for that claim is VERY visible if you just take into account the disputes between the countries of the European continent and the (at the time) widespread agreement that more colonies made the country more powerful.
To begin with, almost the entire continent of Europe was trying to colonize and further their “power” to become better than the other countries. Just before the partitioning of Africa, mass industrialization took place in Europe. Eventually, a meeting/conference was held in Berlin Germany from 1884 to 1885 with all of the European leaders which led to each country getting a section of Africa. A good example would be when the text states, “Still, as late as 1870 only 10% of Africa was under European control, and most of that was along the edges – French Algeria, British Sierra Leone, Portuguese Angola.” This shows that multiple different countries were trying to colonize Africa to further spread their controlled territory. This is all important to note because it is a clear showcase of their intentions for colonizing Africa.
In addition to all of that, the whole thing was nicknamed “The race to seize African colonies”, further hinting at a competitive drive playing a big role in it. This can be further proven when the text states, “Otto von Bismarck of Germany proposed that a conference be held in Berlin in 1884 and 1885 to divide up Africa in a reasonable and peaceful manner. No Africans were invited to attend.” This displays a lack of acknowledgement towards what would be better for the Africans, and more of what would be more beneficial towards each country; this makes it very likely that the Europeans were only doing it for their own countries' gain.
It is valid to acknowledge that the text specifies the European countries wanted to partition Africa in a “-Reasonable and Peaceful manner”. However, later on in time it would prove that this was not the case whatsoever. This can be confirmed by an excerpt from a German book written by Freidrich Fabri in 1879, as the excerpt states, “…It would be wise if we Germans would learn about colonial skills from our Anglo-Saxon [British] cousins and would begin-in a friendly competition-to strive after them.-” This showcases that the Germans had the full intention of becoming better than the other countries. So now the idea that the Europeans weren’t trying to overcome the other countries can be ruled out.
All of this leads to the answer to the question, it was absolutely Political Competition that was the main driving force behind European imperialism in Africa. Between the common perception at the time that more colonies equaled a more powerful country, and the fact that Germany near openly displayed the desire to become #1 In Europe again, it is pretty clear that a BIG part of the colonization was competitive.

ABSINIYA CALLED Ethiopia
Whatever, almost all blacks still keep looking down on Orientals, so that's they they never have any right to say that whites are bad. Even blacks are terrible racist and hypocrites full of double standards. (PS: Why Oriental? Armenians, Georgians geographically belong to West Asia, but are they Orientals?)
When Europe got together and decided to steal and persecute Africa
As an African this is painful to watch 😭😭 slavery, inhumane activities, our natural resources taken as if it’s was theirs 😭 And people fighting to own Africans as slaves. Honestly if the any form of heaven I hope Europeans don’t see it 😭 they’d created racism which today they don’t wanna accept their fault and apologise!!!
