Detailed explanation-1: -The Scramble for Africa, also called the Partition of Africa, the Conquest of Africa or the Rape of Africa, was the invasion, annexation, division, and colonization of most of Africa by seven Western European powers during a short period known as New Imperialism (between 1881 and 1914).
Detailed explanation-2: -The ‘Scramble for Africa’ is the term that historians use to refer to the expansion of European empires into Africa during the Age of Imperialism. It is referred to as a ‘scramble’ due to the way in which the European nations raced to capture territory to expand to their empires.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Scramble for Africa refers to the period between roughly 1884 and 1914, when the European colonisers partitioned the – up to that point – largely unexplored African continent into protectorates, colonies and ‘free-trade areas’.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1884–5 the Scramble for Africa was at full speed. Thirteen European countries and the United States met in Berlin to agree the rules of African colonisation. From 1884 to 1914 the continent was in conflict as these countries took territory and power from existing African states and peoples.
