European Partitioning in Africa
Storyboard Text
- Good Day Germany, You have been invited to the Berlin Conference. This conference is to settle how European countries would claim colonial land in Africa. Please do attend. Sincerely, German Chancellor Bismarck
- West Africa is mine
- I'll take Egypt
- I call southwest Africa
- Look, you and your crew is under my controll now !!!
- All the major European States were invited to this conference.
- The United States was invited to the conference but didn't come because they didn't want to be a part of building a colonial empire in Africa.
- There were no Africans present at this conference.
- Europeans took the best land by force. African farmers were forced to grow cash crops, causing there to be a shortage of food in many areas of Africa. Africans were forced to work under terrible conditions.
- In order to gain power, Europeans encouraged Africans to fight against each other. New political boundaries caused ethnic groups to clash. This has led to war.
- Africans were tired of being treated like second-class citizens on their own land. They soon begin to demand freedom for themselves.
