Yes. Germany controlled:

  • German Kamerun (1884-1916)
  • German East Africa (1885-1919)
  • German South-West Africa (1884-1915)
  • German Togoland (1884-1914)

Due to World War one, all of their African Colonies were transferred to the UK, South Africa, Belgium and France. Most of these gained independence from their new controllers in the 1960's.

The whole continent wasn't a colony, but there were many colonies in Africa controlled by many different nations. Every part of Africa was at one time or another under foreign rule.

No, but a group of Americans (not affiliated with the government) helped found the nation of Liberia for freed slaves.
