During the Berlin Conference many European countries wants to gain some land from Africa. But this led to domestic warfare because they basically want the same land to benefit from its natural resources and industrialize the place. Some of the country that associates with this was Portugal, Spain, Germany, Netherland, and etc. However they really got want the want. As a result it led to many effect in Africa. They division of Africa led to assimilation of different languages and culture. This could be compare to the warfare in Sierra Leone because the RUF and the rebels were fighting just to get diamond to export or simply smuggle it up. And that was bad because many people were wound; they would even get their hand chop off. This connect to the Berlin Conference because they only want to sale their diamond but as a result it led to many death and wounded just to get what they really want and also to survive for a living or even get paid.

ReplyDeleteDo you think the positive outcomes have really done anything to Africa? There were many negative outcomes. The Africans suffered a lot but i think you should have talked about the positive outcomes too.
