"The Scramble for Africa"

The Scramble for Africa was a time where the Europeans were starting to get more and more involved with africa and wanted to explore it for its resources, imperialism, territory and other things.  France, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Portugal were the main countries interested in this idea of exploring and conquering africa.  It's like they were all fighting for that country and they were from the same place but different explorers set their minds to trying to get africa.  Whoever would get africa would have more resources, territory, and they wouldn't even be that far away because Europe is very close to the northern part of Africa.
