The Berlin Conference of 1986-1985 was Africa's undoing in many ways. During the conference, European Nations decided which lands in Africa they would take over. However, this was done without the presence of an African representative. The race of these European powers to colonize and occupy Africa is termed, the “Scramble for Africa”.

Starting in the nineteenth century, began then reign of the political machines which led to many factors to the rise of these strategical machine bosses. In the outrage of the farmers and industrial workers, it was the first time the United States saw a huge increase in participation in electoral votes. The election was evenly divided, and the percent of voters went from 50-60% to 79% (Keene, 517).
