Why Britain Expanded its Empire in Africa from 1880 to 1900

Why did the UK expand the empire in Africa from 1880 to 1900? In 1875, the two most important European countries in Africa were Algeria and colonies. Cape Colony is a lock-in point of the UK's trade fleet from India and the Far East. By 1914, only Ethiopia and the Republic of Liberia remained outside the official control of Europe. The transition from the control of "informal empire" to direct control of economic control takes the form of "competition" of the territory of European countries.

Colonization changed dramatically Africa. From the 1880s to the 20th century almost all Africa was colonized at the time called "African war". The European Union (EU) considers Africa as a raw material and raw material market for raw materials. Important European colonists include Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy. The heritage of colonialism suffered today in Africa. Colonialism was forced to change the environment, politics, society, and religion in Africa. Natural resources such as diamonds and gold are excessively exploited. European business owners benefit from the trade of these natural resources and Africans work without paying appropriate wages.

By 1900, industrialization caused a disturbance due to the need to add new markets and resources. As the UK expanded the empire on five continents, France occupied most of Africa and became a driving force for Germany to compete for more colonies. Competition for economic expansion in Africa is causing conflict between Germany, England and France. In addition, the decline of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East has brought power struggle to the Balkans, Russia, Austria - Hungary

From the 1880s to 1914, the European powers competed with each other and expanded its control over the land and resources of Africa Africa. The UK governs various East African colonial assets that span the continent of Africa and manages from the northern Egypt to South Africa. France occupied a dominant position in West Africa, Portuguese occupied colonies in southern Africa. Germany, Italy, Spain, Rio de Janeiro in Spain, the number of colonies including East German East Africa at various places of the continent, (Tanganyika) and Germany Southwest Africa, Germany, Eritrea, Libya, Italy, Canary Islands And North Africa will be established. Finally, a huge piece of "African big cake" called King Reopold (reigning from 1865-1909), Congo, became his personal territory. By 1914 nearly all continents were under European rule.
