In 1880, Europeans controlled 10% of Africa. And by 1914, 90%. Here's the brutal truth, that will
tear your heart apart. Imagine strangers showing up at your home, drawing new property lines, and claiming everything as theirs. This happened to an ENTIRE CONTINENT.
In 1884, European leaders gathered in Berlin to literally carve up Africa like a cake. No Africans were invited. They drew random borders across ancient kingdoms, tribes, and cultures. And the result.. Millions of people died, countless communities destroyed, resources and cultural treasures stolen.
Belgium's King Leopold killed over 10 million people in Congo alone. These artificial borders still fuel conflicts today. Africa wasn't "underdeveloped" - it was systematically ROBBED. This 30-year land grab was one of history's greatest crimes, and we're still seeing its effects in 2025.
