In Africa and Southwest Asia countries like Great Britain, France and Germany were competing for
A. control of natural resources
B. control of coastal ports for trade
C. trade agreements with local rulers
D. political support from regional coucils


Sagot :

I'm going to hazard a guess at A.
Great Britain, France, and Germany wanted to colonize Africa and Southwest Asia, especially around 1884 (the year of the Berlin Conference). They wanted control of natural resources, because as they continued to industrialize, they needed more and more raw materials, which were not always available in their countries.
