Which country did NOT colonize in America?
A
Italy
B
Spain
C
France
D
England
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Italians never created real colonies in the Americas, and only made territorial ‘colonies’ in other areas of the world as migrants mainly after their political unification in the 19th century.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Italy colonized Libya, Somalia, and Eritrea. Italy colonized in Africa the countries of Eritrea, Ethiopia, Libya, and Somaliland. In 1869, an Italian company began to purchase land in the area of modern day Eritrea, and by 1885, the Italian government had taken complete control.

Detailed explanation-3: -Easy: because Italy didn’t exist in the 16th century. During the period where England, Spain, and others were colonizing, Italy was a mass of smaller city-states as opposed to one large unified country. It wasn’t unified and didn’t become the country we know today as “Italy” until the late 1800s.

Detailed explanation-4: -Between 1820 and 1870, fewer than 25, 000 Italian immigrants came to the U.S., mostly from northern Italy. These early arrivals settled in communities all across the country, from the farm towns of New Jersey and the vineyards of California to the ports of San Francisco and New Orleans.

Detailed explanation-5: -Depending on how you define it, the only countries that were never colonies are Liberia, Ethiopia, Japan, Thailand, Bhutan, Iran, Nepal, Tonga, China, and possibly North Korea, South Korea and Mongolia. Some historians nitpick over this list.
