Africa was targeted by European countries because they all wanted a "Slice of pie". They all wanted exclusive trading grounds and natural resources in Africa that was not already taken by other countries. Some countries used indirect rule and other countries used direct rule. Direct rule required more military while indirect rule didn't require military. Direct rule was a better choice for the colonies in Africa because it would make the colony better protected and would be powerful when taking over other territories.
