7.

11.

14. To what extent did the Berlin Conference make the takeover of the African continent, in the name of the 3Cs, inevitable?Standard aim – to explain what caused the Berlin ConferenceSuper aim – to explain what caused the Berlin Conference whilst linking them with your prior knowledge and themes

15. Key Outcomes • Leopold’s authority in the Congo basin was recognised in return for which free trade to the area would be recognised – hence why it was called ‘Congo Free State’ • The Europeans signed an international prohibition of the slave trade • A European government in a particular region would only be recognised if it had ‘effective occupation’ of the region. This was to stop people making unfounded claims.

16. How united was South Africa up to 1880? The Zulus Rorke’s Drift In December 1878 the Zulus were awarded the strip of land in Natal as the Boer’s could not produce any documentary proof that the former king had given it to them. However, the new British governor and high commissioner of the cape Frere gave them this news with an ultimatum valid for 30 days, that the Zulus must allow missionaries to be restored (although they had never actually been expelled!), the King must abolish his military system and that the King must accept a British Resident (that Zulu land became a protectorate). This was issued due to the Policy of Confederation, long running feud with the Zulus, Frere trying to establish himself in his new position, and Frere whipping up a press campaign to gain support. The Zulus refused as it would effectively have meant that Cetshwayo would have had to revoke his kingship. and 30 days later the British invaded in January 1879. The British set up camp at Rorke’s Drift and sent scouts and marched some men to go and defeat the Zulus. The Zulus left Ulandi, they defeated the British at Isandhlwana. They then went around the British, and awaiting in a ravine near Rorke’s Drift so that they could not be seen.
