The correct answer is a) Africa had an abundance of raw materials for industry.

At the end of the 19th-century, European powers were going through the Industrial Revolution and, therefore, they needed a large number of raw materials in order to supply their increasing industrial production. For this reason, between 1884 and 1885 in the Conference of Berlin all these powers met and decided to partition Africa among them in order to colonize it and exploit its resources.

<span>Europeans saw Africa as a rich source of raw materials to use in industry and as a market for European products of industry. Also, it was felt that having a colonial empire at this time was part of being a European power, in order to be able to compete. Furthermore, some Europeans felt that they were superior to Africans and were therefore justified in conquering what they thought were the backward peoples of Africa.</span>

After the Mexican Revolution, the whites living in Texas, who also were the main ranchers of the region, asked the US to assist in a revolution against Mexico to become independent. The independent nation requested the US to annex the state so the whites could regain connection to the US. During the Mexican-American War, the region of California also staged a revolt against Mexico and declared themselves a free republic called the Bear Flag Republic. The white settlers in the region assisted the US with the war and after became part of US territory. This is the same as Hawaii, white land owners and farmers asked the US to assist in a revolt and eventual annexation of the islands. This put whites in power in Hawaii to control the territory.
