The partition of Africa by European imperialist nations during the late 1800s, often referred to as the "Scramble for Africa," involved the rapid colonization and division of the continent among European powers. This process was formalized at the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, where European nations established rules for territorial claims, often disregarding existing African societies and cultural boundaries. As a result, the continent experienced significant political, social, and economic upheaval, leading to long-lasting impacts that are still felt today.
