Answer:
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.
