Every African Country Was Colonized — Except This One

Descrição

Every single African country was colonized by European powers — except one. Ethiopia stood alone, defeated Italy at the Battle of Adwa in 1896, and became the only African nation to resist colonization completely. This single victory inspired independence movements across the entire continent. This is modern history explained simply through maps.

Spears and old rifles? Ethiopia literally bought modern artillery and guns from European countries. They didn't have "spears" or "old guns" like some kind of outdated tribes that Europeans colonized, they had functional and modern army

In 1936 Italy conquered Ethiopia, so only Liberia was the only country in Africa that was never conquered. Ethiopia was also conquered, but they were conquered in 1936.

Even Liberia was the survivor

Italy’s occupation of Ethiopia in 1936 for 5 years wasn’t considered to be colonization but administered it that was occupation. Liberia was founded by slaves who were sent to Africa from America. The capital Monrovia was named after James Monroe, the 5th president of the United States from 1817-1825
