Europeans controlled a small portion of Africa in the 1800s due to challenges like malaria, difficult terrain, and resistance from coastal African states. With the advent of quinine and mechanized vehicles, Europeans were able to colonize more of Africa. The division of Africa into colonies by European powers culminated at the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885.
In the 1800s, Europeans controlled a relatively small portion of Africa due to several challenges and limitations. First, Europeans were restricted by the disease malaria and difficult terrain for horse-based conquest. Furthermore, powerful coastal African states originally resisted their efforts. However, by the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Europeans had largely overcome these challenges thanks to the invention of quinine for malaria and the development of mechanized vehicles and advanced weaponry.
Their expansion was expedited by the 'Scramble for Africa', a period during which European powers competed to divide Africa amongst themselves. This process culminated at the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 where, without consultation with Africans, Europeans partitioned Africa into colonies. This was motivated by a desire for access to Africa's mineral wealth and potential markets for their goods, and as a means for national pride and military advantage.
By the beginning of the Second Industrial Revolution, Europeans controlled about 10% of Africa, but this escalated rapidly, with Europeans controlling 90% of Africa by the end of the century. Major colonial powers included Britain, France, Belgium, and Germany, with Portugal and Spain maintaining older colonies.
