Why the 19th centure - there were some very powerful reasons. Trade - the industrial revolution in europe was practically complete so european powers needed vast amounts of raw materials. There were political rivalries - british hegemony was on the delcine it was challenged by france germany usa etc. These factors contributed to the division of the world - africa became patritioned by european states while latin america stuck to the americas. Euro nations would set up trading posts in those parts of the world, then send troops to protect them, then they would just declare those regions their colonies.
