What did europeans fail to consider when partitioning africa
lianna [129]

That the natives would fight back and that they would want their land again.

The term “Africa Race” refers to the unrestrained occupation that the continent suffered from, mainly, the second half of the 19th century. European powers began to systematically promote the occupation of the continent, with this process reaching its peak during the Berlin Conference, held in 1884 and 1885.

During this process of conquest, European countries justified their action through a civilizing discourse. They claimed that the domination of the African continent aimed to lead the "developed" way of life in the West, with the advent of technologies that had emerged. In addition to this argument, Europeans used the spread of Christianity as a pretext. However, these justifications were used to hide the real purely economic interest in the region.

Theories based on racial and ethnic prejudice were also formulated to justify this domination. This was known as "social Darwinism", which started from a misreading of Darwin's theory of the evolution of species and defended the false thesis of the existence of the natural superiority of certain human groups over others.

The conquest of the African continent by the Europeans was relatively easy, since, according to historians, the European powers already had knowledge of this continent because of the missionary activities developed in it and the expeditions of the explorers who mapped the territory. This allowed Europeans to become aware of the peoples and kingdoms that exist in Africa, especially their weaknesses.
