What agreements came out the Berlin confrenc?

The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 resulted in several key agreements regarding the partitioning of Africa among European powers. Notably, it established the principle of effective occupation, requiring a country to demonstrate control over a territory to claim it, which intensified the scramble for Africa. The conference also emphasized free trade along the Congo River and recognized King Leopold II of Belgium's personal control over the Congo Free State. Ultimately, the agreements formalized the colonial boundaries that disregarded indigenous cultures and societies.
