<span>The task of this conference was to ensure that each European country that claimed possession over a part of Africa must bring civilization, in the form of Christianity, and trade to each region that it would occupy.  Also a country's claim of a territory was valid only if it informed the other European powers and established some occupying force on the ground.  This occupying force was often a few military outposts on the coast and interior waterways with little to no actual settlement.  Specific lands were obtained by having African indigenous rulers sign an “x” to a general agreement for protection by a European power.  Often these rulers had no idea what they were signing since most could not read, write, or understand European languages.</span>

<span>The Partition of Africa began in earnest with the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, and was the cause of most of Africa’s borders today.  This conference was called by German Chancellor Bismarck to settle how European countries would claim colonial land in Africa and to avoid a war among European nations over African territory.  All the major European States were invited to the conference. Germany, France, Great Britain, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, and Spain were all considered to have a future role in the imperial partition of Africa.  The United States was invited because of its interest in Liberia but did not attend because it had no desire to build a colonial empire in Africa.  Also invited were Austria-Hungary, Sweden-Norway, Denmark, Italy, Turkey, and Russia who all were considered minor players in the quest for colonizing Africa, though Italy would claim some colonial possessions in Northeast Africa.  Most notably there were no Africans present at this conference, nor were any Europeans present to ensure that native Africans had any say in the proceedings. - See more at: http://www.blackpast.org/gah/partition-africa#sthash.iHMZNDZ1.dpuf</span>

Although the times have changed, exist similar factors that were part of the history of two big power countries: Rome and the United States. Being these important historical facts of each country described now.

On the one hand, the Roman republic was managed by a monarch king “Tarquino the superb”, who used the murders and violence to establish the order in Rome. After many injustices caused by him, one of them did the Senate decided to act and rejected him because he let to his son to rope a Patrice. When the Senate combated the Monarch the consul charge was created, replacing the king charge, and the main goal was administrated the roman Justice. To avoid abuses they created different branches to achieve it.  However, Rome practiced slavery until the fall of the Roman Empire. The slaveries were treated like economic instruments, but the democratic advance let the laws’ implementation, duties, and rights established by the Senate brought equality for its population.

On the other hand, currently the United States is governed by the democratic constitution and its laws are established by the federal  government which is dived in the legislative and executive branch which creates federal, official and politic laws and these are approved by the judicial branch, which belongs to Senate; the implementation of each law must not be against the constitution. Its application relapse on minor charges like policemen. The United States also practiced the slavery above all with black people and this caused a division between the North, where people rejected it, and the south, where it was legal and people practiced it.

Similarities and differences

- As the United States as Rome created different branches to avoid the unfair, the abuse to population and support the democracy.

- The United States’ Senate originated thanks to the creation of Rome’s senate.

- Rome was a power dominant country over 2.000 years ago and the United States is a powerful country nowadays.

- Both countries are multicultural and practiced slavery in a time.


In conclusion, even though both countries are different, as in culture, location and time, both have been big power countries economically and with big military forces, that have increased their culture, knowledge and general develop through the years. Part of their development has had the same achievements, like the politic and have looked for social equality to improve their internal development.
