Berlin Conference convened in order to complete the negotiations with regards to the claiming of the territory in Africa that is also known as the Berlin West Africa. It was in November 15, 1884 until 1885 that a convention was called to shed light on the questions about the Africa territory. During the conference, 80% of Africa stayed under the local and traditional control. It aims to settle the political division that arises in Africa and to extend the German territory in its own advantage.
