Imperialism in Africa• As you know, one of the most profitable continents in the

and oil.• Make a prediction – what will European powers do once they
realize the tremendous profit available in Africa?• European powers begin to colonize African states
IMPERIALISM• This led to a wave of European exploitation of African
resources, land, and people. The rivalries between European countries over control in Africa is one of the main causes of WWI.
