Berlin Conference and Latin America
The 1884-85 Berlin Conference is one of the best known and most infamous examples of European imperialism and the "Scramble for Africa." How did Latin American states, the world's first region of post-colonial countries, respond? In a new article , PAIS's Tom Long and Cambridge's Carsten-Andreas Schulz examine this question. Drawing on sources from across Latin America, the USA, and Europe, the article highlights the broader repercussions of late nineteenth-century ‘high imperialism’ and reassesses the nature of Latin American anti-imperialism. "Seeing the Berlin Conference from the periphery: Latin American reactions to imperialism elsewhere, 1884–85," part of an AHRC-funded research project, is available open access in the Journal of Global History.
