Section 2 – The Partition of AfricaSetting the Scene: In the late 1800s, Britain, France, Germany, and other European powers swept into Africa. Chief Machemba of the Yao people in East Africa wrote in Swahili to a German officer:"If it be friendship that you desire, then I am ready for it... but to be your subject, that I cannot be. ... I do not fall at your feet, for you are God's creature just as I am."Though the Yao and others resisted, they could not prevent European conquest. Within about 20 years, the Europeans had carved up the continent and dominated millions of Africans.
