Approximately how many African states were impacted by the Berlin

Question

30

50
60

Answer 1

The Berlin Conference, which took place from 1884 to 1885, led to the partitioning of Africa among European colonizers, impacting nearly all African states at that time. While there were about 50 to 60 recognized political entities in Africa prior to the conference, the exact number of states impacted would include most, if not all, of them due to the extensive nature of colonial claims and boundaries established. Therefore, the best estimate is closer to 50 states that were significantly affected by the decisions made at the Berlin Conference.
