You can't handle the truth son. .
What did the Berlin Conference do to Africa?
In the short term, what the Berlin Conference did to Africa was divide it up between European imperial powers. In the long term, the Berlin Conference helped to ruin the continent, helping to bring about many of the problems that it faces today.
When the Berlin Conference was called in 1884, Africa was still largely ruled by Africans.

The Berlin Conference: Europeans’ Scheme to Divide and Control Africa
Fourteen European countries were represented by a plethora of ambassadors when the Berlin Conference opened on November 15, 1884 with the aim of negotiating over the control of Africa

“The Berlin Conference was Africa’s undoing in more ways than one. The colonial powers superimposed their domains on the African continent. By the time independence returned to Africa in 1950, the realm had acquired a legacy of political fragmentation that could neither be eliminated nor made to operate satisfactorily.”*
The Berlin Conference: Europeans’ Scheme to Divide and Control Africa
The Colonization of Africa & the Berlin Conference
Often called 'Africa's undoing', the Berlin Conference saw the powers of Europe divide the African continent like young boys dividing up baseball cards. With little to no concern for the culture of the continent, maps were redrawn and lands were claimed. As Europe bickered over who got what, the native inhabitants of Africa watched as their culture was uprooted and destroyed.
Certainly you can post up what you like, but what you like is not going to be accepted as fact. You will accept all the reasons experts have said caused things in Zimbabwe, you don't have a choice. It doesn't matter what your ass knows how to avoid. No one gives a damn what you would support. Mugabe was elected because of the white authoritarian government that took rights from the people of Zimbabwe. Had Africa been left alone, had ****** kept his punk ass in Europe, Mugabe never would have come to power. That country existed 887 years before a white boy got there. They had a sucessful government and people ate well.
