What were impacts of Berlin conference on Europe?

There were two Berlin conferences that had impacts on European history. The more significant of the two occurred from 1884 to 1885. It dealt with the division of Africa into spheres of influence, occupation, and colonization. The second, far smaller one, took place in early 1954 and it attempted to determine the fate of occupied Germany and Austria after World War II (1939–1945).
Fourteen nations met at the first conference in Berlin. The fate of Africa was determined largely by four of the nations: Germany, France, Britain, and Portugal. These were the main colonial powers in Africa. Belgium and Italy would eventually colonize parts of Africa. The result of the conference was a disaster for Africa. The continent was divided arbitrarily in ways that did not reflect its ethnic or linguistic differences. African nations did not regain their sovereignty until after World War II.
After the defeat of Germany in 1945, that nation and Austria were divided into zones of occupation between America, Britain, France, and the USSR. In 1954, these four nations tried to agree on the political fate of occupied Germany and Austria. However, because of the Cold War, there was no agreement. This second conference ended in stalemate.
