This is the article "The Scramble for Africa" by Mike Kubic.
The texts informs us about the Western Europe countries colonizing Africa; when and why that happened, what were the consequences and the means of achieving it.
At the late 1800s, news about the discovery of the interior of Africa began spreading across Europe. News about gold, silver, diamonds, minerals, rubber etc. found here, exerted a propmpt response by Europe's rulers, most notably, Belgium's King Leopold.
Freely using Africa's resources, killing people who objected them, waging bloody wars that decreased the population of the continent, Europe committed a terrible crime against Africa.
Local tribes started rebellions, but their bows, arrows and spears were no match to brutal soldiers with fire weapon.
America also had a colony in Africa, Liberia, but it served as a new home for newly freed African slaves in the 19th century.
Finally, in the second half of 20th century, African countries began gaining independance.
