At the Berlin Conference of 1884, the main European powers divided the African territory among themselves without African consent. The conference resulted in the division and colonization of Africa by European powers, with little regard for the wishes or input of African nations or peoples. The Europeans unilaterally defined the boundaries and control of territories, leading to significant consequences for Africa's history and subsequent struggles for independence.

Answer:

"the main European powers divided the African territory among themselves without African consent"

Step-by-step explanation:

The Berlin Conference of 1884, also known as The Scramble for Africa Is when the leading European powers at the time Britain, France, Germany, etc split up the lands of Africa to exploit their natural resources. At this conference they split up Africa (mostly west) into neat little areas for them to later colonize and profit from.
