Nigeria • In the early 1800s, Muslim religious leaders called for a jihad, or holy war, to restore the purity of Islam. Muslims believe that a Muslim killed in a jihad is assured a place in heaven. With armies inspired by this belief, several Islamic states in West Africa conquered large empires. • Among the best known of these Islamic empires was the Hausa-Fulani Empire located in what is today northern Nigeria. In 1804, Usuman dan Fodio (1754–1817), a Muslim scholar, unified the nomadic Fulani people. The next year, he led them in a jihad against the Hausa people because he thought the Hausa had corrupted Muslim practices. Usuman’s forces seized control of the Hausa cities. Usuman then organized the new lands into strong Islamic state.
Flag of the Congo Free State European Conquests • The scramble for colonies began in the 1870s when Belgium concluded treaties with African rulers along the Congo River. Henry Stanley (1841-1904) explored the Congo River basin. He also negotiated treaties with local rulers for the right to exploit the mineral wealth of the region. Stanley hoped that Britain would send settlers to the Congo, but Britain was not interested. • Thus, Stanley turned to King Leopold II (1835-1909) of Belgium, who agreed to set up Belgian settlements there. Belgium thereby gained control of the region, which became known as the Congo Free State.
