The Scramble Of Africa

I think the true meaning of the title Scramble Of Africa means that many other countrys were debating on who should get africas land so thats what i think scramble of africa mean.The main countrys involved in this scramble were Britan,France,German,Portuguese,Italian,Belgian,and spanish,those were all the country who had part in african land.There are alot of reasons why these countrys tryed to take over africa one of the reasons is they thought that if they had the most land they would be most powerfull so everyone tryed to take over africa to have more power the country with most of africa was france with 36 percent of africa.They were able to dominate africa so easily because they werent as advanced as the other countrys even if the african people choose to fight back they would have no chance because they would have to fight against every country that was a part in the scramble of africa. And they didnt even have enough weapons to figth back.It effected the african people because they felt as if they werent in controll of there own country like they werent being treated right in there own country and i think if the african people had enoguhn people to defend what was theres they would have but since the europeans out numbered them by ALOT they didnt have a chaance to defend what what theres
