    The two maps of Africa show political boundaries before and after the Berlin Conference of 1885. Map 1 depicts the many independent African kingdoms and political entities that existed prior to the Conference. Map 2 from 1914 shows Africa divided among European colonial powers, with the Conference establishing rules for the Scramble for Africa that resulted in European control over approximately 90% of the continent by 1913.
