question 7 of 10
what was one major outcome of the 1884 berlin conference?
a. several european powers launched coordinated attacks against great britain.
b. europeans were able to colonize africa without fighting with one another.
c. africans living in european colonies were guaranteed equal political rights.
d. european colonial leaders agreed to end their brutal forced labor practices.

Explanation:

The 1884 Berlin Conference was mainly about regulating European colonization of Africa. It aimed to prevent conflicts among European powers over African territories. Option A is incorrect as the conference was not about attacking Britain. Options C and D are wrong because the conference did not guarantee equal rights for Africans or end forced - labor (in fact, it facilitated more exploitation). The conference set rules like the "principle of effective occupation" which allowed Europeans to colonize Africa with less inter - European warfare.

Answer:

B. Europeans were able to colonize Africa without fighting with one another.
