How Western diplomats decided the future of Africa, setting up rules for its colonization. The Berlin conference reconstituted minute by minute in camera. November 15, 1884. At the initiative of Bismarck, an international conference held in Berlin with representatives of all major European powers and those of the Ottoman Empire and the United States. At a time when under colonial Africa intensified, its goal is to organize the sharing of the Congo Basin and, more generally, to establish rules for the colonization of central Africa. For if the Europeans have long been settled along the coast, the heart of the continent is still almost entirely terra incognita ... For several weeks, diplomats who know nothing about Africa and will never set foot there, will draw boundaries in the name of free trade and the civilizing mission of the white man--www.artevod.com
