I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the period of European empires competing to control Africa called?
All the background I'm provided with is that "With French, Belgian and Portuguese activity in the lower Congo River region undermining orderly incursion of tropical Africa, the Berlin Conference of 1884–85 was held to regulate the competition between the European powers in what was called the "Scramble for Africa" by defining "effective occupation" as the criterion for international recognition of territorial claims.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
