*
It is the policy of
extending the rule or
authority of an
empire or nation over
foreign countries.
THE
EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES!
SOME OF THIS COUNTRIES ARE
THE UNITED STATES, GREAT
BRITAIN, BELGIUM, GERMANY,
SPAIN, PORTUGAL, FRANCE
AND HOLLAND!
THEY
SCRAMBLED
FOR AFRICA!
ALL OVER
AFRICA
*IN AFRICA THERE WERE LOTS
OF SLAVES, WHICH COULD BE
SOLD.
*WEALTHY COUNTRIES WERE
IN SEARCH OF NATURAL
RESOURCES, WHICH AFRICA
HAD!
Thanks to steamships ,railways,
quinine, machine guns and
undersea telegraph cables they
could take over Africa! They had
huge armies and lots of weapons,
while Africans did not own
anything of that kind!
