The European division of Africa is commonly referred to as the "Scramble for Africa." This period, which occurred in the late 19th century, involved European powers competing for territorial control and colonization of the African continent. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 formalized the partitioning process, leading to the establishment of various colonial territories across Africa. This division had profound and lasting impacts on the continent's political, social, and economic landscape.
