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

~ 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.

Answer:
The internal factors, or the indigenous people, had little to no influence over the external factors, or the European states. Soon, the indigenous population began to adopt western practices. However, most people soon began to question the flaws of the external factors. Then, they started to rebel, but most failed. An example is the Cherokee Nation adopting colonial methods of farming, weaving, and building. But since the Americans were greedy for gold, they pushed the Cherokee from their lands and killed. Later on, they participated in rituals called the Ghost Dance so that their ancestors would help drive out the whites. Sadly, the movements fell at the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. Another example are the Hindus and Muslims using rifle cartridges ,ade from cow and pig fat. They were mad because they thought the British were trying to convert them to Christianity. They rebelled in a violent uprising known as the Indian Rebellion of 1857, but were ultimately crushed, killing thousands.
