Before 19th century, European had no control over Africa’s economy, or politics. Europeans partitioned and scrambled Africa to avoid the restriction in slave trade and gain control over Africa’s economy, politics, and social consequences. This European’s action further took effect on Africa in various ways. The “Scramble for Africa” and partition of the continent was triggered off mainly by King Leopold II in 1876 because he thought Africa is a land of opportunity and has a huge ramification to make Berlin more economically strong by generating efficient trading system between Africa and Europe and using its cheap labor. The chance of development motivated King Leopold to colonize Africa. He sponsored humanitarian conference by using his own money to colonize Africa. The conference lead sponsored by King Leopold created the African international association, a front for exploiting and making money from Africans. The African international association supposed to have international support, civilize the natives, end slavery in Congo, and promise Free trade agreement.
