Colonization is the discovery, conquest and settlement of a group over another. This happens when one country takes over the lands and people of another country and create their own Government.
During the period of rapid colonization known as “Scramble for Africa” which lasted from 1890 – 1914, most African countries were colonized by the European Nations such as Spain, Dutch, France, England, Germany and Italy.
Ethiopia and Liberia were not colonised because of their location, economic viability and unity. They were founded by America as a place to send the free black people.They had foreign control during their early histories but they later liberated themselves.
ETHIOPIA
