4. The correct answer is B) 14. The Berlin Conference, also known as the Congo Conference, was held in 1884-1885 and was attended by representatives from 14 European countries. The conference was convened to regulate European colonization and trade in Africa during the New Imperialism period.5. The correct answer is C) Partitioning of Africa without African input. The Berlin Conference resulted in the partitioning of Africa among European powers without any input or representation from African nations. This led to the establishment of arbitrary borders, the exploitation of African resources, and the subjugation of African peoples. The partitioning of Africa had long-lasting negative consequences for the continent, including political instability, ethnic conflicts, and economic underdevelopment.
