Question

look at this map of european colonies in africa.
the berlin conference (1885)
which of these statements accurately describes information that is presented on the map?
germany had no colonies in africa.
france’s colonies were mainly in north and west africa.
spain had the most colonies in africa.
britain’s colonies are shown in the color orange.

Explanation:

1. Check each statement against the 1885 Berlin Conference map:

• Germany has visible colonies (purple area), so the first statement is false.
• Spain only has small coastal colonies, while Britain/France control far larger territories, so the second statement is false.
• Britain's colonies are the large pink/light pink areas, not orange, so the third statement is false.
• France's colonies are the large orange regions in northern and western Africa, matching the final statement.

Answer:

France's colonies were mainly in north and west Africa.
