Detailed explanation-1: -The principal powers involved in the modern colonisation of Africa are Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain and Italy. In nearly all African countries today, the language used in government and media is the one imposed by a recent colonial power, though most people speak their native African languages.

Detailed explanation-2: -There is often discourse on how Russia never colonised Africa, but what’s left out is that they did indeed attempt to follow the Coloniser Handbook. In 1889 Russia laid claims to the village of Sagallo in present-day Djibouti.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ethiopia and Liberia are widely believed to be the only two African countries to have never been colonized. Their location, economic viability, and unity helped Ethiopia and Liberia avoid colonization.

Detailed explanation-4: -The idea of “Christianizing” Africa also made many Europeans look favorably on the colonization of the continent. By the 1880s, Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal all wanted part of Africa.
