Object:
The European countries in the late 1800s needed colonies. The purpose of having colonies across the globe was to secure from them all of their natural resources to be used in manufacturing. These resources would then be returned to the colonies in the form of manufactured goods for sale. The colonies also provided labor. And perhaps most importantly, the imperialist countries imposed their will on the colonies. Africa became the most sought-after location because of its vast land and abundant natural resources. The Europeans were in such competition to secure land in Africa that the movement became degradingly known as the "scramble for Africa." Each European country tried to secure more land and resources in Africa than any other European country, with a total disregard for the native inhabitants.
