Did You Know?
Every African country except one was colonized by Europe?
Out of 54 countries on the continent, only Ethiopia managed to maintain its sovereignty during the “Scramble for Africa” in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Despite facing multiple invasions, including a major attempt by Italy in 1896 at the Battle of Adwa, Ethiopia successfully defended its independence.
The rest of Africa was divided among European powers such as:
-Britain
-France
- Germany
- Italy
-Belgium
-Portugal
-Spain
These colonizers controlled territories, resources, and peoples, shaping much of Africa’s modern borders and challenges.
