Some of the natural resources that attracted Europeans to Africa in the 1800s were land for farming, gold and diamonds, ivory, rubber and palm oil.

Natural resources and raw materials were big reasons for European powers to colonize African nations. Indeed, during the "Scramble for Africa," European countries invaded, conquered and divided African territories from 1881 to 1914. For instance, some of the British colonies were Nigeria, Egypt, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and South Africa. Some French colonies were Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mauritania, Chad, Gabon, and French Argelia.
