1st edition. ".covers the period 1870-1905, when the European powers (Britain, France, Germany, Portugal and Italy) divided the continent into colonial territories and vied with each other for control over vast tracts of land and valuable mineral resources. At the same time, it was a period during which much of Africa still had a history of its own. Colonial governments were very weak and could exist only by playing off indigenous forces. African politics to a large extent pursued their own policies, and played a large part both in opening up the continent to outside influences and in building larger political unities." Pp.16/956, 27 maps, owner's name to front free endpaper. Brown cloth, gilt title to spine. A heavy book (weight approx.1.7Kg). VG.
