# Answer:
True

### Question 5
# Brief Explanations:
After European explorers mapped parts of the African coast and interior, missionaries (seeking to spread Christianity) and then colonizers (seeking resources, territory) followed.

### Question 6
# Brief Explanations:

Some provided education and medical care, but also undermined local cultures, and their actions were tied to the broader colonial project of cultural assimilation.

### Question 9
# Brief Explanations:
Europeans met in Berlin (Berlin Conference, 1884 - 1885) to divide Africa among themselves. They wanted to avoid conflicts between European powers over colonial claims, so they established rules for colonizing Africa (like how to claim territory, spheres of influence) to ensure an orderly partition of the continent's land and resources.
# Answer:
Europeans met in Berlin (Berlin Conference, 1884 - 1885) to divide Africa among themselves, establishing rules for colonial claims to avoid conflicts over territory/resources.

Colonial governments were run by Europeans (colonial administrators, settlers), and Africans were largely excluded from political power, with colonial rule being highly hierarchical and discriminatory. So the statement is False.
# Answer:
