In the late 1800s, powerful nations raced to claim new colonies overseas. They chased territory, raw resources, and strategic ports across Africa and Asia, defending the conquest as progress while extracting wealth and labor. The scramble for empire, protectorate, and annexation redrew borders that still show up on a map today.
