Concept:The Berlin Conference, also called the Congo Conference, was a meeting of European powers to partition Africa.
Explanation:German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck convened the conference in
1884 at the request of Portugal.
It brought together the major Western powers to settle the confusion over the control of Africa.
The meetings lasted from November
1884 to February
26,
1885.
During those three months, colonial powers haggled over geometric boundaries across the interior of the continent.
They disregarded the cultural and linguistic boundaries already established by indigenous African peoples.
As a result, Africa was divided into about fifty irregular colonial territories.
This partition created lasting artificial borders that ignored the realities on the ground.
