Imperialism in Africa Political Cartoon

This cartoon clearly depicts the rush for land in Africa.  With so many western nations eager to obtain land, the Berlin Conference was held to establish basic rule on occupation of land in Africa.  The artist of this cartoon is saying that Europe was selfish.  Europe was running out of natural resources in the homeland and needed more.  Belgium, for example, was out for the rubber.  They used slaves to collect it and severely distreated them.  Most Europeans were forcing the natives to adapt to the mother country's culture.  I agree with the artist.  Europeans tore Africa in several different directions.  They were out to better their own country and did not care about the needs of the colonies.
