The Desire for Africans This trade for slaves became the Atlantic Slave Trade Between 1500 and 1600, about 300,000 slaves were taken to the Americas. During the next 100 years, the number jumped to 1.5 million, and by 1870 the number was about 9.5 million.

Spain and Portugal lead the way During the 1600’s, Brazil dominated the sugar market – and as it grew, so did the need for slaves. During the late 17th century, nearly 40% of the slaves from Africa were taken to Brazil. Brazil, by the end of the slave trade, had 10 times the amount of slaves than in North America.

Slavery Spreads England then dominated the slave trade from the 1690 until 1807. By 1830, there were nearly 2 million African slaves in North America. African merchants, with the help of local rulers, captured fellow Africans to be enslaved. They delivered them to the Europeans in exchange for gold, guns and other goods.

Forced Journey The trade routes formed a Triangle, becoming known as the triangular trade. Manufactured goods from Europe to Africa Slaves from Africa to the Americas Rum, and other goods from the Americas to Europe

Today in class we will conduct a simulation of the famous Berlin Conference to focus our study of European Imperialism in Africa. In this simulation, you will experience the fierce competition between European powers over African territory that started in 1500 and lasted into the 1900s. You will be a part of the various strategies used to acquire territory, and the classification of certain territories as more or less economically valuable than others.  

YOU are representing your country at the Berlin Conference and are determined to get what you want! Other countries here are self-serving and will say anything to persuade you trying to get their way. Remember, no other country is on your side. You must stand up for your interests. Do not be tricked into agreeing with the other countries, fight for what you desire!

Berlin Conference Role Play 1. Make Placards for each member of your group with your country name. 2. Assign a group leader, group reader, and timekeeper. 3. Read aloud your role card. 4. Make sure everyone answers the worksheet questions. Decide what land you want. Reference your Africa Maps.
