Imperialism in Africa
December 10, 2020 by Abdullah Sam
The European imperialism in Africa took place during the nineteenth century. Until 1876, 10.8% of African territory was in possession of colonizers. In 1900, the European dominance corresponded to 90.4%. At first, European exploitation was spread along the coast, with strong trading posts that guaranteed the slave trade. The first large-scale domination started with France and Great Britain. Africa’s riches went to industrialized countries
France occupied Algeria in 1832, Tunisia in 1881 and then Morocco. Thus, French West Africa was created. For its part, with the same intention of territorial expansion, Great Britain took possession of Egypt in 1882, Sudan and southern Africa. In 1876, the king of Belgium, Leopoldo II, dominated the entire current area of ​​Congo. The region came under the personal rule of the monarch until 1908, when it was sold to the government of Belgium and was eighty times the size of the dominant country.
