Question

why were big european powers met in berlin in 1885​

Answer 1

Answer:

Big European nations met in Berlin to hold a conference regarding the split up of the federated states of Africa.

The Berlin Conference of 1884–85 regulated European colonisation and trade in Africa during the New Imperialism period and coincided with Germany's sudden emergence as an imperial power. The conference was organised by Otto von Bismarck, first Chancellor of Germany; its outcome, the General Act of the Berlin Conference, can be seen as the formalisation of the Scramble for Africa. The conference ushered in a period of heightened colonial activity by European powers, which eliminated or overrode most existing forms of African autonomy and self-governance.
