Yes, the process you're referring to is known as the Scramble for Africa, which occurred during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. European powers convened at conferences such as the Berlin Conference (1884-1885) to partition and establish boundaries for African territories, often without considering the ethnic, cultural, or historical realities of the region. This arbitrary division has had lasting effects on the political and social landscape of many African nations.
