The Second European colonization wave is so-called because it followed the first European colonization wave, which started in the 15th century. The second wave started in the second half of the 19th century with the New Imperialism period, which notably included the Scramble for Africa. It lasted until the beginning of the decolonization era, which in most places did not occur until after World War II.The later half of the 19th century saw the transition from an "informal" empire of control through military and economic dominance to direct control, marked from the 1870s on by the scramble for territory in areas previously regarded as merely under Western influence. Colonialism would take its full extent only during the period known as New Imperialism, starting in the 1860s with the Scramble for Africa: the British, French, and German empires vied with each other to conquer the most territories possible as quickly as possible.
