Final answer:

The Berlin Conference resulted in conflicts over African territories and the European colonization of Africa.


Step-by-step explanation:

The Outcome of the Berlin Conference:

  1. Conflicts continued over control of African territories. Despite efforts to peacefully resolve Africa's future, the Berlin Conference ultimately led to further conflicts among European countries.
  2. European countries sought to exploit Africa's resources and establish colonies, leading to the Scramble for Africa and the colonization of the continent.
  3. The conference legitimized the European division and colonization of Africa by giving European powers the right to control territories and draw borders without African input.
