EFFECTS IN THE AFRICAN

 

Africans resisted colonial rule from the outset, trying to hold on to their land,  but were not strong enough to defend themselves against European conquest. As a result, most of Africa was colonized by 1900.

 Only Ethiopia and Liberia remained free. After the First and Second World Wars colonial control of the continent began to come apart. 

This was the result of a new political climate, the rise of nationalism and the waging of independence campaigns in various colonies as well as the new domestic priorities in the post-war period for colonial rulers.
