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>

Why did Alexander Continue his campaign after the goal had been achieved.
melomori [17]

Allthough Alexander the Great already conquered was amounts of territory in Asia minor and Egypt, well outside the borders of Greece, there were always more riches to be found in different nations, together with bigger glory. As he was a general and a war-hero, it was important for him to obtain as much land as possible.
