Social Sciences and History / Unit 16 SSH 1521 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Berlin Conference and Africa's Boundaries
Captions available
The idea
World history's 0528 gives imperialism's motives and means, including the partition. Regional geography's 1133 shows the result: boundaries drawn at Berlin across ethnic lines, then neocolonialism. Unit 11's 1034 supplies the vocabulary, geometric boundaries against ethnic ones. Decolonization at 0338 and 0538 undoes the map without redrawing it.
In practice
Lines from a table in Europe.
Where people slip
Geometric boundaries outlive empires.
