The General Act of the Berlin Conference on West Africa

"Brown flow flows to the sea quickly from the dark heart to the sea at twice the speed of our upward progress and the life of Kurtz also comes from the bottom of my heart to the sea of ​​cruelty "Joseph Conrad - Introduction of the Dark Mind The purpose of this article was to consider the importance of European architecture to the general of the West African Congress of Berlin (1884-1885) It is to analyze the split between the bill and the major European powers.

The Berlin Conference from 1884 to 1885, also known as the Congo Conference (Germok: Kongokonferenz) or West Africa Conference (Westafrika-Konferenz), regulates the European colonization and African trade in the new imperialist era, It was consistent with the surge in German empire power. The conference was organized by the first German prime minister Otto von Bismarck; as a result, the "general bill" of the Berlin conference can be seen as a formalization of the battle of Africa. The conference has reached the era of strengthening the colonial activities of major European powers and eliminating or surpassing most of the existing forms of autonomy and autonomy in Africa.

In 1807, in the abolition of slave trade and promotion of economic exploitation, the battle of Africa was officially launched at Berlin's West African Conference from 1884 to 1885. The Berlin conference tried to avoid the war between European powers by enabling European opposition parties to divide the African continent into domestic colonies. I did not talk to Africans. Major European countries claim that the Africa region can exert influence on the region. These claims need not have substantial land ownership, the treaty is legal. The power of Europe, which showed their rule of territory, accepted the mandate to govern the area as a colony of the people. European countries with this claim can develop and profit from their colonial commercial interests without fear of competition with European competitors.

In 1884, the West Africa Conference was held in Berlin, discussed the issue of colonization of Africa, and officially established the "African War". In the second year, the Belgian Parliament has passed a resolution to leopold as sovereign state of the newly established Congolese state, absolutely dominating the country over 2 million square kilometers. From 1885 to 1908, Leopold accumulated individual wealth through exploitation in Congo and forced labor. For companies like the British - Belgian Indian Rubber Company (ABIR), villages that did not meet the rubber quota requirements were subjected to the brutality of the Leopold Army "Army" coming from African countries. Soldiers and Congolese were composed of white officers, hostages, killings, looting, and sniper attacks. The hand was cut off, ammunition was not wasted wasting the animals, and I showed European officials that one villager was murdered.
