Which two imperialist nations controlled the most territory in Africa?

he two imperialist nations that controlled the most territory in Africa during the period known as the "Scramble for Africa" were:

1. The United Kingdom (Great Britain): The British Empire controlled a vast amount of territory on the African continent, including countries that are now known as Egypt, Sudan, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, and more. The famous saying "the sun never sets on the British Empire" attested to the vastness of its reach.

2. France: The French Empire had significant holdings in Africa as well. They controlled what are today many Western African countries, such as Mali, Senegal, Guinea, and the Ivory Coast, as well as parts of Central and North Africa, including what is now known as Algeria, Tunisia, and the Republic of the Congo.

These two empires were key players in the partitioning of Africa, which began in earnest at the Berlin Conference of 1884-85, where European powers formalized their territorial claims and established rules for further annexations.
