History in Brief: The show where we take key moments from history and break them down into clear, concise overviews. Whether you studied this before and just want a refresher, or are hearing it for the first time, join me as we review some of the most important events in humanity's history.

Today, we're looking at the Scramble for Africa, the frenzied colonization of practically the entire African continent by European powers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Within just a few decades, Africa went from a land largely controlled by indigenous kingdoms and societies to being dominated by foreign rulers.
