Description: A map of Africa after the Berlin Conference of 1885, which established the European colonial territory claims on the continent. This map shows the British, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish claims, and the Ottoman possession of Tripoli. This map also shows the Caprivi Strip, a strategic corridor linking German Southwest Africa to the Zambizi River in what was then Rhodesia, and thereby access to the west coast of Africa and the territory of German East Africa. Capital and major cities are shown, as well as major rivers and landforms.
