Question

as a result of the berlin conference, africa was:
a. left alone to determine the fate of their resources.
b. divided into two regions to eliminate conflict between cultures and tribes.
c. divided up into several regions without consideration of the different cultures and tribes.

Explanation:

The Berlin Conference (1884 - 1885) was about European powers partitioning Africa. Option a is wrong as Africa wasn't left alone; European powers took control. Option b is wrong as the division wasn't to eliminate tribal/cultural conflict but for colonial gain, and it wasn't into two regions. Option c is correct: European powers divided Africa into colonies (several regions) with no regard for existing cultures, tribes, or ethnic boundaries, leading to arbitrary borders that caused issues later.

Answer:

c. divided up into several regions without consideration of the different cultures and tribes.
