The correct answer is B. Cape Colony

Explanation:

From the XVI century to the XX century Britain took control of multiple territories that were outside the boundaries but were still administered by the government of it and therefore were considered as colonies this included territories in North America, Asia, and Africa. In the case of Africa one of the most profitable colonies was the Cape colony that became a colony in the beginning of the 19th century and whose territory and resources led to important profits for Britan because in the territory diamonds and gold were discovered and then widely exploited by different British companies although this also led to the building of railways and infrastructure that benefit the zone. Therefore, it was the Cape Colony the one that became very valuable when gold and diamonds were discovered there.

5 things about the scramble for africa

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The Scramble for Africa, also called the Partition of Africa or the Conquest of Africa, was the invasion, occupation, division, and colonisation of African territory by European powers during a short period known to historians as the New Imperialism (between 1881 and 1914). In 1870, only 10 percent of Africa was under formal European control; by 1914 this had increased to almost 90 percent of the continent, with only Ethiopia (Abyssinia), the Dervish state (a portion of present-day Somalia) and Liberia remaining independent. The European colonialists had several motives: a desire for valuable natural resources, the quest for national prestige, rivalry between European powers, and religious missionary zeal. Internal African native politics also played a role.

Explanation:

The scramble for Africa represents the most thorough and systematic process of colonialism in world history.

~ The European colonial powers managed to conquer and control almost the entire continent of Africa in a short, twenty-five year period from about 1875 to 1900.

~ Some of the European states involved were already well-established global powers; the others were up and coming nations that desired to emulate and compete with the dominant imperial states.
