In November 1884, representatives from a dozen European countries met in Berlin. The reason for the meeting was audacious. They were going to carve up the continent of Africa between them.  No one from Africa was in attendance at the conference, and no one was even invited. The decisions they made at this conference, and in the decades that followed, can still be felt in the world today. Learn more about the European Scramble for Africa and how the European powers carved up a continent on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
