Scramble for Africa

In the late 19th century, a dramatic race for power and resources unfolded across the African continent. European nations, driven by greed, nationalism, and a misguided sense of superiority, carved up the land like a giant chess board. This period, known as the Scramble for Africa, saw colonial powers redrawing borders, exploiting natural resources, and subjugating indigenous populations. From the Congo to Cameroon, from Nigeria to Namibia, the map of Africa was transformed in a matter of decades. The consequences of this frenzied land grab would echo through generations, shaping the continent's future and leaving scars that persist to this day. Join us as we unravel the complex web of motivations, conflicts, and lasting impacts of one of history's most consequential land rushes.
