Answer:

The Berlin Conference of 1885 changed the African way of living by dividing the African territory among the European powers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Berlin Conference, held between November 16, 1884 and February 27, 1885 in the city of Berlin, was convened by France and the United Kingdom and organized by the Chancellor of Germany, Otto von Bismarck, for the purpose of solve the problems implied by the colonial expansion in Africa and resolve its distribution.

After the Conference, all Africa (except Liberia) was divided among the signatory powers. However, Abyssinia (now Ethiopia), whose control had been assigned to Italy, resisted the invasion and remained independent. Liberia, on the other hand, was an old American colony that had achieved independence in 1847, and that was not subjected to new colonization.
