Scrambling, Scrambling, Chaos...
THE SCRAMBLE OF AFRICA
- The Scramble of Africa was the invasion, occupation, and annexation of Africa
- Between Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain
- Some "Key People" were David Livingstone, Henry M. Stanley, and Leopold II
- Portugal arrived during the Age of Exploration, then as an opened market of trade developed and economic benefits grew, more countries decided to take part of the action there.
- Another reason for this, was because of racial reasons, such as wanting to do their duties like it was said they should do in the White Man's Burden.
