The Scramble for Africa
The Scramble for Africa was when a number of European powers rushed, or 'Scrambled' to gain extra colonies in Africa.
Many European nations wanted to have Empires. Between 1870 and 1914 much of Africa was colonised by European countries.
This led to several arguments between European nations. For example the Germans and French argued about Morocco in 1906 and 1911.
