Question: Who controlled a lot of governments and financial agents in the continent where the river that Tekeze River turns into is located at the end of the 19th century?

the cuyuni river is a south american river and a tributary of the essequibo river. it rises in the guiana highlands of venezuela where it descends northward to el dorado, and turns eastward to meander through the tropical rain forests of guyana. it finally turns southeastward, flowing to its confluence with the mazaruni river. the cuyuni river marks the limit of the disputed territory of guayana esequiba for approximately . <SEP> The Berlin Conference (German: Kongokonferenz or ``Congo Conference '') of 1884 -- 85 regulated European colonization and trade in Africa during the Imperialism period, and coincided with Germany's sudden emergence as an imperial power. Called for by Portugal and organized by Otto von Bismarck, first Chancellor of Germany, its outcome, the General Act of the Berlin Conference, can be seen as the formalization of the Scramble for Africa. During this colonial time, the economy of Africa was re-arranged to serve Europe and Europeans, and the European industrial chain began in Africa and ended in European industrial warehouses. The conference ushered in a period of heightened colonial activity by European powers, while simultaneously eliminating most existing forms of African autonomy and self - governance. <SEP> The Tekezé River rises in the central Ethiopian Highlands near Mount Qachen within Lasta, from where it flows west, north, then west again, forming the westernmost border of Ethiopia and Eritrea from the confluence of the Tomsa with the Tekezé at to the tripoint between the two countries and Sudan at . The Tekezé is perhaps the true upper course of the Atbarah, as the former follows the longer course prior to the confluence of the two rivers. After entering northeastern Sudan at the tripoint it joins the Atbarah River, which is a tributary of the Nile. <SEP> the mékinac river is a located in the rcm mekinac regional county municipality, in the administrative region of mauricie, the province of quebec, in canada. this river of middle mauricie has played an important role in the forestry industry at the end of the 19th century. <SEP> The Atbarah River (; transliterated: Nahr 'Atbarah) in northeast Africa rises in northwest Ethiopia, approximately 50 km north of Lake Tana and 30 km west of Gondar. It flows about 805 km (500 mi) to the Nile in north-central Sudan, joining it at the city of Atbarah (). The river's tributary, the Tekezé (Setit) River, is perhaps the true upper course of the Atbarah, as the Tekezé follows the longer course prior to the confluence of the two rivers (at 14° 10' N, 36° E) in northeastern Sudan. The Atbarah is the last tributary of the Nile before it reaches the Mediterranean.

This misconception was based on the misbelief that the Cape was the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The currents of the two oceans meet at the point where the warm - water Agulhas current meets the cold water Benguela current and turns back on itself. That oceanic meeting point fluctuates between Cape Agulhas and Cape Point (about 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) east of the Cape of Good Hope). Contemporary geographic knowledge instead states the southernmost point of Africa is Cape Agulhas about 150 kilometres (90 mi) to the east - southeast.

He states that maps "contributed to empire by promoting, assisting, and legitimizing the extension of French and British power into West Africa". During his analysis of nineteenth-century cartographic techniques, he highlights the use of blank space to denote unknown or unexplored territory. This provided incentives for imperial and colonial powers to obtain "information to fill in blank spaces on contemporary maps".

the republic of the congo (french: république du congo), also known as congo, congo republic, west congo[citation needed], or congo-brazzaville, is a country located in central africa. it is bordered by five countries: gabon to the west; cameroon to the northwest; the central african republic to the northeast; the democratic republic of the congo to the east and south; and the angolan exclave of cabinda to the southwest. <SEP> the portuguese explorer diogo cão reached the mouth of the congo in 1484. commercial relationships quickly grew between the inland bantu kingdoms and european merchants who traded various commodities, manufactured goods, and people captured from the hinterlands. after centuries as a major hub for transatlantic trade, direct european colonization of the congo river delta began in the late 19th century, subsequently eroding the power of the bantu societies in the region. <SEP> Forests are under increasing exploitation pressure. The southwest of the country is a coastal plain for which the primary drainage is the Kouilou-Niari River; the interior of the country consists of a central plateau between two basins to the south and north. <SEP> Mayombe (or Mayumbe) is a geographic area on the western coast of Africa occupied by low mountains extending from the mouth of the Congo River in the south to the Kouilou-Niari River to the north.

It is also called the Partition of Africa and by some the Conquest of Africa. In 1870, only 10 percent of Africa was under European control; by 1914 it had increased to almost 90 percent of the continent, with only Ethiopia (Abyssinia), the Dervish state (a portion of present - day Somalia) and Liberia still being independent.

British immigration began to rise after 1820, and pushed thousands of Boers, resentful of British rule, northwards to found their own—mostly short-lived—independent republics, during the Great Trek of the late 1830s and early 1840s. In the process the Voortrekkers clashed repeatedly with the British, who had their own agenda with regard to colonial expansion in South Africa and with several African polities, including those of the Sotho and the Zulu nations. Eventually the Boers established two republics which had a longer lifespan: the South African Republic or Transvaal Republic (1852–77; 1881–1902) and the Orange Free State (1854–1902). In 1902 Britain occupied both republics, concluding a treaty with the two Boer Republics following the Second Boer War (1899–1902).

However, in 1883–84 Germany began to build a colonial empire in Africa and the South Pacific, before losing interest in imperialism.

The resulting vegetation of Mediterranean climates are the garrigue in the Mediterranean Basin, the chaparral in California, the fynbos in South Africa and the Chilean scrubland in Chile. Areas with this climate are where the so - called ``Mediterranean trinity ''has traditionally developed: wheat, vine and olive. <SEP> the plains at the foot of the sierra madre occidental is an elongated mesa known as altiplanicie mexicana that exhibits a steppe climate and serves as a transition zone from the mountain climate in the western part of the state to the desert climate in the eastern side of the state. the steppe zone accounts for a third of the state's area, and it experiences pronounced dry and wet seasons. the pronounced rainy season in the steppe is usually observed in the months of july, august, and september. the steppe also encounters extreme temperatures that often reach over 100 °f in the summer and drop below 32 °f in the winter. the steppe zone is an important agriculture zone due to an extensive development of canals exploiting several rivers that flow down from the mountains. the steppe zone is the most populated area of the state. <SEP> Forests are under increasing exploitation pressure.
