"The Scramble for Africa"

Africa divided into many sections after the Europeans started to conquer all the land in the area. Africa was conquered by Belgium, England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal. They were looking to expand there land and to obtain the resources that the Africans had. These materials were diamond, gold, silver, rubber, tin, copper, salt, wood, ivory, iron, and other valuables. They invented the machine gun and a cure for Malaria. This made it easier to conquer and move through Africa. Since they made weird borders, this gave allied tribes separation, and the enemy tribes closer together. This made disputes and wars against the other tribes, but the Europeans did not care about the Africans, but a way to get better resources for very little money.
