Answer:

Lee ordered an evacuation of his forces from the city of Peterburg and also from the Confederate capital of Richmond.

Explanation:

At the Battle of Five Forks on April 1, the Union Army, commanded by Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, took the last major rail lines still in control of the southern forces in Petersburg. Grant then ordered a final attack on enemy fortifications in the area. The next day, the Northern Army was able to break the Confederate defenses at the Third Battle of Petersburg, forcing Robert E. Lee to order an evacuation of his forces from the area and also from the Confederate capital of Richmond at nightfall on day 2 to the 3 of April of 1865.

Why were countries competing for colonization of Africa during Imperialism?
nexus9112 [7]

Between the 1870s and 1900, Africa faced European imperialist aggression, diplomatic pressures, military invasions, and eventual conquest and colonization. At the same time, African societies put up various forms of resistance against the attempt to colonize their countries and impose foreign domination. By the early twentieth century, however, much of Africa, except Ethiopia and Liberia, had been colonized by European powers.

The European imperialist push into Africa was motivated by three main factors, economic, political, and social. It developed in the nineteenth century following the collapse of the profitability of the slave trade, its abolition and suppression, as well as the expansion of the European capitalist Industrial Revolution. The imperatives of capitalist industrialization—including the demand for assured sources of raw materials, the search for guaranteed markets and profitable investment outlets—spurred the European scramble and the partition and eventual conquest of Africa. Thus the primary motivation for European intrusion was economic.
