Map of Africa, showing European claims at 1914
  
 

Africans had opposed the European domination of their continent from the beginning. However, whenever this opposition gained momentum, the superiority of European military technology typically prevented any long term success.
By 1914, most of the African continent was claimed by the European powers -less that 30 years from the start of the 'Scramble'.
