Reasons
Among the reasons for European domination were African natural wealth. The territory was lush in precious stones, vegetable and mineral raw materials. Politics and War
As strategies for domination, political negotiations, military and religious maneuvers were used. For political negotiations, tribal chiefs made trade deals with Europeans. These carried products from the land while supplying weapons to Africans. In order to expand the territory, Europeans themselves allied themselves with tribes and participated in the wars between them. Thus, they guaranteed more land and powerful allies.
