are you sure you are right on that anwer bot
Yes, I'm certain. European colonization of Africa was largely motivated by the desire to gain control of Africa's natural resources such as gold, diamonds, and other minerals, as well as to establish and control trade routes for these resources. The search for resources like rubber, oil, and ivory led to European colonialism, exploitation of African labor and resources, and ultimately, to the partitioning of Africa by European powers.
