Which of the following formalized colonial penetration into Africa?
Answer Details
The Berlin Conference formalized colonial penetration into Africa. It was held in Berlin, Germany in 1884-1885 and attended by the major European powers of the time. The conference aimed to regulate and coordinate European colonization and trade in Africa by establishing rules and guidelines for claiming territories, thus paving the way for the "Scramble for Africa." The conference effectively partitioned the continent of Africa among European powers without regard for existing African political boundaries or ethnic groups.
