After confirming Sivert's departure for Berlin, East Africa quickly prepared the necessary arrangements and informed the host German government. Meanwhile, Prince Leopold of Sigmaringen also attended the conference on behalf of Sigmaringen.
The Berlin Conference was held in April 1884, much earlier than historically, primarily due to variables brought by East Africa and other countries.
Now, the entire South Africa and East Africa were almost completely divided, leaving only West Africa, so naturally, other countries worried about missing out on the final piece of the pie.
The Berlin Conference quickly turned into a marketplace; after all, with just a few strokes, large areas of land ownership could be established. In the face of interests, no one could remain calm, and arguing heatedly wasn't considered embarrassing — compared to tangible benefits, face means little.
