5-8 Million Victims! (50% of Popul.)
It is blood-curdling to see them (the soldiers) returning with the hands of the slain, and to find the hands of young children amongst the bigger ones evidencing their bravery...The rubber from this district has cost hundreds of lives, and the scenes I have witnessed, while unable to help the oppressed, have been almost enough to make me wish I were dead... This rubber traffic is steeped in blood, and if the natives were to rise and sweep every white person on the Upper Congo into eternity, there would still be left a fearful balance to their credit. -- Belgian Official

Thesis #1Throughout history, colonization has been a main concern of many nations. In the 1880s, there was a great desire by European powers to colonize and control Africa in order to gain resources. This became known as the Scramble for Africa. The hypocritical actions of the European powers led to an extreme contempt for the Europeans among the African people, which triggered violent rebellions that eventually helped lead Africa to liberty later on hroughout history, colonization has been a main concern of many nations.

Thesis #2
“For years after the Berlin Conference, various European powers raced to occupy
and colonize land in Africa. It was a time of growth for Europe, but what was it for
Africa? Africa’s fate was being decided for it by the European invader. Not all Africans
just stood by and watched, however. There was a wide range of actions and
reactions to the Scramble for Africa from the Africans themselves, from giving in
peacefully to fighting back with all of their might.”

• Thesis #3• In the early 20th century European countries met
to carve up Africa. They did not care about what it did to Africa, but cared about dominating and getting resources. “Although the European powers felt as though they were doing great good in the African continent during the Scramble for Africa, the actions of the Africans was that of rebellion and reactions showing much determination to rid Africa of the unjust Europeans
