Ad from 1890s
Europeans to
imperialize
Given the context, why do you think the Europeans made this
agreement?
Europeans made this agreement because they didnt want to
fight over all the territory in Africa and engage in wars, so they
promised to respect each others lands and neutrality.
Based on both documents, how did geopolitics motivate
imperialism?
Each country wanted the power that came with more
resources and land, but they didnt want to fight over it and
lose all their power and waste money. To promote peace, they
divided the territories amongst themselves and promised not
to fight over other peoples land.
