What occurred at the berlian conference?

The Berlin Conference, held from 1884 to 1885, was a meeting of European powers to regulate the colonization and trade in Africa. Convened by German Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck, it aimed to prevent conflict among European nations over African territories. The conference resulted in the division of Africa among European countries, often disregarding indigenous cultures and political boundaries, which had lasting impacts on the continent's socio-political landscape. The decisions made at this conference set the stage for the "Scramble for Africa," leading to significant exploitation and colonization.
