Before the First World War (WW1) and the discovery of natural resources in Africa, western countries used to treat indigenous Africans in the same as their New World natives. But after the Berlin Conference of 1884-5, the Europeans decided to sub-divide Africa in what was termed the ‘Scramble for Africa’.Following the break out of the First World War in 1914, Germany and Britain, renewed their rivalries to a point where this extended to their colonies in Africa such as Tanganyika (now Tanzania) and Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia).
