What is the Aim of the 1884 Berlin conference?

The aim of the 1884 Berlin Conference was to regulate European colonization and trade in Africa, facilitating the "Scramble for Africa." Convened by Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck of Germany, the conference sought to establish guidelines for the partitioning of the continent among European powers, ensuring that no single nation could claim the entire territory. It aimed to avoid conflict among European nations and promote economic interests while disregarding the rights and interests of African peoples. The conference ultimately led to significant territorial changes and exploitation in Africa.
