A. The Congo

King Leopold II of Belgium essentially ran the Congo as his own personal colony.  He took much ivory out of the region (from elephant tusks), and used forced labor to harvest rubber from vines in the Central African rainforest.  You could say his "successes" influenced other European countries to want in on the action.  The European powers met at the Berlin Conference, setting up the "Scramble for Africa." The various European powers determined how they would limit conflicts with one another as they each pursued imperialistic goals on the African continent. The conference of representatives of European nations met in Berlin from November 15, 1884 until February 26, 1885.  The United States also took part in the conference.  It is sometimes known as the Congo Conference because it was prompted by King Leopold II of Belgium establishing the so-called "Congo Free State" under his personal rule.

ANCIENT ASIA &amp; AFRICA
Sindrei [870]

A lot has been studied and said about the contributions that both ancient Asia and Africa have had on our world. As amazing as it may sound, Africa has had a great hand in many of the things that we know today, even more so than Asia. Some of these contributions are: Socially: the most important contribution came from Africa, where social equality and especially gender equality was born. It was especially important that Africa believed in the importance of both genders for all activities. Politically: In China began the establishment of social strata, led by the rulers, or emperors and in Africa, the political system was very similar. At the religious level, especially from Asia, the world received several religions, like Buddhism, one of the best known and widespread religions of all. Intellectually, especially from China, a lot of tendencies and traditions, as well as customs originated. But also from Africa, particularly from Egypt. a lot of knowledge, especially in mathematics, physics and science in general was developed. Technologically speaking, both Africa and Asia have contributed a lot. China was a huge center of technological discovery and from China we received things like printing, the use of gunpowder and many other things that were also precursors to many discoveries nowadays. But also from Africa, where metallurgy, for example, was highly developed, and according to studies, it has been discovered, that this art was passed on to other regions of the world. Finally, economically, China, being one of the most populated nations has always been a business center. But also, because of its trades in textiles and others, has always contributed grately to the world economy. But Africa has also had an impact, especially agriculturally, as it is one of the best developed activities in the world and their knowledge regarding this activity has widely affected the way that agriculture is handled worldwide.
