The correct answer is D) all of the above were important factors in the Scramble for Africa.
The end of slavery trade, exploration and politics, Capitalism and medical advances, were important factors in the Scramble for Africa.
Historians name the Scramble for Africa the occupation and colonization of the African territories by European Imperialist nations such as Spain, France, Great Britain, and Portugal, from 1881 to 1914. This period is also known as the “Conquest of Africa” of the “Partition of Africa.” Most of the countries in Africa were under some sort of European rule by 1914, with the exception of Somali, Liberia, and Ethiopia. The Berlin Conference of 1884 served to the purpose of the colonization behind the facade of “help” or “assist” the countries of Africa.
