The Scramble for Africa was the occupation, division, and colonization of African territory by European powers during the period of the New Imperialism, between 1881 and 1914. It is also called the Partition of Africa and the Conquest of Africa by some. In 1870, only 10 percent of Africa was under formal European control; by 1914 it had increased to almost 90 percent of the continent, with only Ethiopia (Abyssinia) and Liberia still being independent. With the Italian occupation of Ethiopia in 1936, only Liberia remained independent. There were multiple motivations including the quest for national prestige, tensions between pairs of European powers, religious missionary zeal[citation needed] and internal African native politics.The Berlin Conference of 1884, which regulated European colonisation and trade in Africa, is usually referred to as the ultimate point of the Scramble for Africa.[1] Consequent to the political and economic rivalries among the European empires in the last quarter of the 19th century, the partitioning, or splitting up of Africa was how the Europeans avoided warring amongst themselves over Africa.The later years of the 19th century saw the transition from "informal imperialism" by military influence and economic dominance, to direct rule, bringing about colonial imperialism.

Zielflug [23.3K]

As Elizabeth Eckford, I was discriminated on my first morning of school. I prepared what I wore the night before and then the next day I got yelled at someone who doesn’t want me to go to school. I am a victim of discrimination. The integration was not the way I expected it to be. I felt mistreated by almost everyone and I felt very disappointed with how they stared at me.

Discuss the significance that segregation voting rights and education had on african American life in the South during the late

Sladkaya [172]

Segregation and racism had a huge impact on African-Americans in the South during the late 1800s and early 1900’s. One example of this would be public schools. The Plessy vs Ferguson case established the idea that there can be separate facilities for blacks and whites as long as they are “equal.” Despite this law, schools for African-Americans often had lower quality buildings and textbooks.

Another example of how African- Americans were limited during this time was when voting. Southern states passed laws such as a poll tax or literacy tests to prevent African-Americans from voting. A poll tax was a sum of money required to vote. This greatly affected African- Americans especially during the 1800’s because many of them did not have a lot of paper money due to their previous status as slaves. The literacy tests were extremely difficult reading comprehension tests that African-Americans usually failed during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. This was due to the fact that schooling was limited for this group of people.
