Which of the following best explains the division of Africa shown in the map? O Most of Africa was controlled by indigenous peoples who rebelled against colonial powers.
O Many Eastern nations sought influence in the world by founding colonies in Africa.
O Colonial powers had acquired African territory by using methods such as annexation and overthrow.
O European nations had colonized an equal amount of territory throughout the African continent.

The correct answer is C) Colonial powers had acquired African territory by using methods such as annexation and overthrow.

Explanation:

History has it that European countries rushed in to take over regions in Africa in order to gain strategic advantage globally.

History also has it that in 1870 only about 10% of Africa was under the formal control of Europeans. By 1914, this area had increased to approximately 1870.

For example, the Congo Free State was annexed in August 1908  and became known as the Belgian Congo.
