Scramble for Africa

The Scramble for Africa refers to the invasion and partition of the African continent by European countryballs. The only two countryballs that remained independent where the untouched respected pious Abyssiniaball and Liberiaball. (Because the latter's clay is made up of freed 8balls from USAball).
It was a great time for 2balls, who gained rich resources and economic growth and development though african resources. This soon lead Africans vulnerable to support western-backed dicatorships by manly these these countries to abuse the rights of the people and continue giving away the clay's wealth to the western world or communist-backed dicatorships to oppress and starve the 8balls more.
As for the 8balls, it was a horrible time for them as 8balls mostly were forced in labor, their culture was oppressed, riches were obviously stolen, and 2balls sometimes made 8balls spread ethnic hate towards one another leading to the Rwandan genocide. Not to mention Belgiumball's king Leopold commited disgusting acts in the Congo Free Stateball.
