The Berlin Conference of 1884â85 was a meeting between European nations to create rules on how to peacefully divide Africa among them for colonization. The conference was convened by Portugal but led by Otto von Bismarck, chancellor of the newly united Germany. Though invited, the U.S. declined to participate.
This planned meeting was to be their third gathering, the first having been the November 1943 Tehran Conference. With the German surrender on May 8, the leaders scheduled a conference in the German town of Potsdam for July.
