The 1884 Meeting That Ruined A Continent

In 1884, fourteen of the world's most powerful men gathered in a ballroom in Berlin. They had plenty of wine, a large map, and a shared goal: to divide up the continent of Africa. The catch? Not a single African was invited. This wasn't just a meeting about borders; it was the "Berlin Conference," a diplomatic masterclass that legalized the theft of an entire continent. In this video, we dissect the "Gentleman’s Agreement" that formalized the Scramble for Africa, legitimized King Leopold II’s brutal regime, and drew the arbitrary lines that still fuel conflict today. We explore how international law was weaponized to turn conquest into a bureaucracy.
