Final answer:
The Berlin Conference was held from 1884 to 1885 and involved representatives from European powers dividing Africa among themselves.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Berlin Conference took place from 1884 to 1885. It was organized by German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck to determine the division of Africa among European powers. Representatives from 13 European countries and the United States attended the conference. No African countries were represented except for the Ottoman provinces along the Mediterranean. The conference resulted in the division of Africa into colonies and spheres of influence, which would later lead to civil unrest and boundary disputes among African countries formed in the 1950s and 60s.
