The main countries in the scramble for Africa were Europe the British, the French, the Germans, and the Belgiums. They went into Africa in order to look for natural resources. The Europeans took salt, gold, wood, copper, and ivy to Europe to better the nation. They also were very greedy so they wanted to conquer other countries. The British thought they were the first race and they were superior to other countries. Africa wass very easy to conquer because they European nations were more advanced then the Africans. The Europeans used machine guns while the Africans used spears. The scramble affected the Africans because the borders were created which played around with the land of thw Africans. This ruined the amount of land the African tribes controlled.
