The Scramble for Africa
The Scramble for Africa examines the rapid European partition and conquest of most of the continent during the late nineteenth century. It explains the commercial, strategic and ideological motives of competing imperial powers, the Berlin Conference and the military campaigns used to impose colonial rule. The book also gives attention to African resistance and diplomacy and considers how borders, economic systems and political structures created during the scramble shaped later African history.
