The correct statement that describes the views of the countries attending the Berlin Conference is:

**They saw Africa as resources to be divided amongst themselves.**

The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 was focused on the partitioning of Africa by European powers, and the attending nations primarily viewed the continent in terms of its resources and potential economic benefits rather than the interests or governance of African nations.
