It depends on how you count them.
Of the European colonizers, you have a total of 7, which are composed of UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, and Belgium.
Of the secondary possible colonizers there are 3, which are composed of Oman/Zanzibar, South Africa, and the United States, which operated de facto colonies in Zanzibar, Nambia, and Liberia respectively.
Ethiopia
Due to the colonisation of African countries, mostly occurring in the nineteenth century (called the European Scramble for Africa)The three most powerful and successful colonisers were Portugal (Mozambique), France (Mauritius, Northeast Africa) and the United Kingdom (Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa).Because some African countries were once/some still are ruled/colonized by European countries.
The French culture, the french language and religion in Africa are some lasting results in France of having colonized countries in Africa.
How many countries were colonized by french and how did they do it
Basically all except Ethiopia.
West Africa was largely colonized by the French. Because of this, it was known as French West Africa. The countries of Algeria, Mali, Niger, Chad, and others were all colonized by the French, and did not gain their independence until the last half of the 20th century,
Europeans heavily colonized many of the different countries in Africa. During the time of the cold war, there was a string of independence movements from many of the different countries in Africa with Libya being the first in 1952.
There are 25 countries in Africa that have French as one of the official languages. That means that France has colonized about 25 countries in Africa (Don't forget there have been revalutions and countries have changed.) Most of West Africa speaks French as well as Madagascar.
I believe it is Europe.
Mainly in the western part of Africa because France colonized it.
Among the European countries that established their own colonies in Africa were Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. While some countries (including France, Spain, and Portugal) had colonized parts of Africa as far back as the 1500s, the majority of the colonization by the European powers occurred in the mid-to late 1800s. To a certain extent, the Dutch were apart of this colonization as they formed a group of other Europeans who settled in what was South Africa. They were called Afrikaners.
With the Scramble for Africa in the 1800s, France colonized much of Central, West, and North West Africa and also colonized Vietnam and what is now known as French Guyana at separate times. With such a long French influence, these countries adopted the language,and continue to use it today!
