After the Berlin Conference of 1884, European superpowers agreed to regulate or establish some order to colonize the territories in the African continent. Expansionistic and imperialistic ideas promoted the Partition of Africa, commonly known as the Scramble for Africa. This colonization formally started in 1884 and ended approximately in 1914. European nations invaded Africa, occupied territories, split tribes, changed borders, and created new ones.
