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.
