I think that my group did well compared to the other groups in this activity, but compared to real life i think we did horrible because we were supposed to get alot more land that we ended up getting. The Berlin conference affected Africa in real life because first it took away some Africans dignity because they couldnt do anything to stop these people from coming in and taking their land whether they liked it or not it seemed. Also, it created more wars and battles between nations because they made fake borders that forced them to live with their enemies

scramble

When i think about the scramble for Africa i think about the Europeans and how they all fought to get the African land and to try to take it all for themselves.

Do now

I think that Europeans became interested in Africa because they figured out that all of the people there are lower than them in some way in their mind, so they figured they can get all of the resources from the land there, and use it for their benefit. They also wanted to use the people as slaves to work on their land for them, so they could gain profit. They were also more avanced in terms of weapons, but not necissaraly in terms of their education.
