The term "sphere of influence" first appeared in the division of [[Africa]] at the Berlin Conference (also known as the "Congo Conference") of 1884 – 1885, which apportioned dominance of the continent between Britain, [[Belgium]], France, [[Germany]], [[Italy]], [[Portugal]], and [[Spain]]. In 1885, a [[bilateral]] agreement between [[Great Britain]] and Germany divided control of the Gulf of Guinea between them. Each undertook not to interfere in the interests of the other in its designated sphere. In 1890, the two concluded a similar division of spheres of influence in [[East Africa]].
