- The Scramble for Africa refers to the rapid colonisation and division of the African continent by European powers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This period of intense imperialistic competition took place between the 1880s and the early 1900s, and it had profound and lasting effects on the political, economic, and social landscape of Africa. #HistoryVille

the generalization that pushes us to see in every European a genius, a superior being, continues to wreak havoc.
we all know that these are individuals who were more curious than others, who were interested in what was ignored by others, that they were born illiterate like the others (which in itself is a rule) but these individuals when you think about it carefully are exceptions to the rules, in other words genius is not the norm among European peoples like everywhere else.
you have many Africans who hold invention patents but what do we do with these invention patents in Africa: we put them in the archives until they rot or sell them at low prices to European companies, Chinese, Japanese, American or South Korean.
the European genius is to give money to these “exceptional” individuals even if other Europeans are sick, poorly fed, poorly clothed, uneducated, unemployed, etc., etc., etc.
their suffering is not a priority.
they will later be used as labor force at will thanks to the inventions of these “exceptional” beings (exceptions to the rules, that is) who are the “geniuses”.
note: there must be African-American geniuses in the United States. .
putting this into perspective, let's say that it is an environment, an ambient culture, a representation of things and people which make the difference.
This is an excellent presentation, job well done. Now my people will understand how imperialism lead to the 2 world wars, it was not really Gavrille principe killing archduke Ferdinand, but those imperial powers were having internal tension on there african colony borders and see the assassination as an opportunity to jump in to form allies to divide the colonies of the loosing party, treaty of Versailles make sure of that, and this is foundation of world war 2, German want their colonies back, which french and British have shared. So after loosing over 100 million people, more than all africans they killed in slavery and colonization also the advent mass killing weapons like atom bomb, they realize if there's a ww 3, European civilization might be extinct, so they decide to let the colony go, then they start co administration with indigenes , there was no founding father, that could convice them, at this time they have very advance weapons, like jet fighters, bombs etc, which founding fathers knows how to fight aircraft, aircraft carriers, submarine etc, the best you can do is little gorilla tactics, but unfortunately when finally, we got the independence the same founding fathers sold us back to the colonial masters; they already reduced us to administrative function, when we got independence we keept the same arrangement in place for them to continue to exploit us, example they will take our cocoa, palm oil, crude oil, coal etc and go and process it, and sell it 10x because we lack the processing ability, or set up a corp. to process but all processors are them, we will only be playing supportory role, instead of trying to learn the crucial role of production to bring somewhere like canada or US to teach us in our school, because British will never teach us, our founding father instead will give scholarship least qualified to british school to go andd study, european history or classical music, now they got all their money they paid for raw materials back and more, while we got nothing, thank God for the American missionaries that gave scholarship to us in a few essential areas we needed and when they came back in the 60s they was really war, they never let them in there industries, same thing we are still doing today with the Chinese, they will help with cosmetic things like road, bridges but if you tell about thing like helping us building a steel plant or lithium battery plant, is a no no but they are satisfied with you playing an administrative stooge, manifacture everything in china and pay them 10x, just like trading 2 slaves for mirror, we have to wake up african and see it neocolonization again, we need to change our orientation like the Asian, they are always about what use to manufacture in their country, if an african travels to western countries they always intrested cars, cloths, luxury item go and check our ports, but an asian goes around looking for used manufacturing equipments, closed 100 year old factory to buy and send back home even if it is not working they still buy it, they are not interested in cars or luxury, this has been there attitude since their independence, they are still behind the west in genetics technology, they paying the best professors I n the west to come to the college, some as much as a million per annum, this is what we need to do, everybody needs to play there part, not just the government alone, this is where we all have to have the zeal and attitude of an Ibo man " your hand can never fail you ", not just seating lackadaisical expecting the government to do it all.
Dear lawd! Wave your hand... makem all dissapear never to come back. Give us our world back.
La Conferencia de Berlín 😂😂😂😂!!! El Litoral Del Golfo de Guinea, es del Imperio Español, los franceses y británicos ocupan esos territorios a escondidas de los españoles 😂😂😂 y No fue en la Conferencia de Berlín, fue mucho más tarde
Colonialism was evil.
It was not evil, it help africa develop
@@masterpnk3717Africa was already developed, they had their own way of life and were in tune with nature but due to racist ideologies from the Europeans they seen their way of life superior to all others…
