Imperialism is dominating or taking over a country or territory by a stronger country, During the 19th and centuries, imperialism was a major factor within Belgium and Africa. Africa was dominated by Belgium in the mid-1800s.
Belgian rule in the Congo was based on the colonial trinity of state, missionary and private-company interests. The privileging of Belgian commercial interests meant that large amounts of capital flowed into the Congo and that individual regions became specialised.

The Berlin Conference was a conference that took place in 1884-85. Fourteen European nations met to equally divide Africa, and they agreed that none of the European nations could claim any of Africa without consulting other nations. It was unfair to Africa because no African leaders were consulted. Liberia and Ethiopia were the only free countries by 1914.
