In the nineteenth century capitalism and the industrial revolution settled in Europe and needed to expand in search of regions that provide raw materials and markets. Colonialism appeared as a doctrine of development. Africa was a territory which could provide raw materials for Europe, appearing necessary business in time of the industrial revolution.
Every great country pretended to have a colonial empire, as the English conceive it. The empires of the Modern Age not only exploited the territory, but sought to establish themselves in it definitively, they became part of the crown. But the empires of the industrial revolution intend only to exploit the territory. It is about removing raw materials from the undeveloped regions and exporting the processed products to these same regions, with a much higher added value. Of course, it is not taken into account that in these regions there are no capitals with which to buy them. The undeveloped regions become underdeveloped. Mainly agricultural and mining products are sought. Between the European countries begins a race for the dominion of Africa, and of the world. This race will have its expression in the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, in which the European countries share Africa.
