Answer 2

Answer:

The Scramble for Africa, also called the Partition of Africa or the Conquest of Africa, was the invasion, occupation, division, and colonisation of African territory by European powers during a short period known to historians as the New Imperialism (between 1881 and 1914).

The reasons for African colonisation were mainly economic, political and religious. During this time of colonisation, an economic depression was occurring in Europe, and powerful countries such as Germany, France, and Great Britain, were losing money

Another political reason for the scramble and the partition of Africa is some African ethnic groups were hostile to the early European explorers, merchants and traders. The European nations therefore saw the need to annex those territories where they have their explorers and merchants to protect their citizens.
