Imperialism in Africa

Imperialism is a strong country taking over a weaker country in order to take over there natural  resources and its political economic. Just like how Europe did to Africa in the 1860s.
Before europe took over africa, africa was a divided country that had different languages. They followed traditonal beliefs; other converted to islan or christianity.
Europe wanted African land because they needed more natural resources like coal, iron, and water, and they needed new markets for goods. They also needed the abundance of raw materials. Lastly, they needed a place to sell stuff.

The Africans fought back using spears and sheilds, but they lost the battle because the British used rifles and guns. So after that the British took over most of Africa.

Dutch and Great Britain were fighting against each other to take over Africa but Africans started fighting against the Dutch and the British.
