Answer:
The Scramble for Africa, also called the Partition of Africa or the Conquest of Africa, was <u>the invasion, occupation, division, and colonisation of African territory by European powers during a short period known to historians as the New Imperialism</u> (between 1881 and 1914). In 1870, <u>only 10 percent of Africa was under formal European control</u>; by 1914 <em>this had increased to almost 90 percent of the continent</em>, with only Ethiopia (Abyssinia), the Dervish state (a portion of present-day Somalia) and Liberia remaining independent. <u>The European colonialists had several motives</u>:<em> a desire for valuable natural resources, the quest for national prestige, rivalry between European powers, and religious missionary zeal</em>. Internal African native politics also played a role.
Explanation:
The scramble for Africa <u>represents the most thorough and systematic process of colonialism in world history</u>.
~ The European colonial powers managed to conquer and control almost the entire continent of Africa in a short, twenty-five year period from about 1875 to 1900.

In the United States, people are chosen for various government positions based on receiving most of the votes. This distribution system is called "majority rule".
<u>Explanation:</u>
The principle of plurality is a judgment rule which selects alternatives with a plurality, that is,above half the votes. This is the conditional decision rule most commonly used in powerful decision-making frames includes all democratic nation assemblies.
Minority rights are human rights which are granted to all, even though they are not a part of the majority. Such rights can not be revoked with a simple vote. In the United States, the Bill of Rights, which was developed by James Madison, preserves civil liberties, as well as the privileges of individuals and individual states.
During WWll, with white men fighting overseas, African Americans were able to get better job opportunities, and a new law passed saying that blacks and whites had to be in integrated units in the army. But, when the war ended and black soldiers returned to America they weren't greeted with a hero's welcome and instead were treated like all other blacks- they were forced to be segregated. This change from almost equality to none at all really fired up the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950's and 1960's.
The Wilmot Proviso pointed to trouble ahead in the debate over the expansion of slavery.
In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced the proviso as an amendment to an appropriations bill in connection with the peace treaty being negotiated with Mexico. His amendment stipulated that any territory gained from Mexico would be free, not allowing slavery. Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate. The high-intensity debate over slavery and the expansion of slavery was evidenced by how things went with the "Wilmot Proviso."
