these countries were not colonised by the same countries so their style of living was adapted by the people who were found the originally.
The United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Portugal all had colonies in Africa. The Netherlands also at one time had colonies. The United States is also credited with having a colony, Liberia, though technically it was not an actual colony, just administered by the US.
The only African country not colonised by a European power was Ethiopia (formerly called Abyssinia). The Italians did invade Abyssinia in 1936 but never successfully conquered it and were driven out by 1945. Liberia was established by the government of the United States of America as a place in Africa where freed slaves could return to.
The United States was colonized by at least four different countries in the 1600s. The nations were England, the Netherlands, France, and Spain.
European nations colonized Africa to end human slavery. Commercial considerations came second. The exit of the European rulers saw the reinstitution of slavery. Far more Africans made the trip to Mecca than returned. The United States and Europe accused Arabia and other Arab countries of reinstituting slavery. As a result the enslaved Africans returned from Mecca. Slavery now exists in Sudan and other African Nations not bordering the Mediterranean.
Primarily Europeans colonized what is now the United States.
Some African states became dependent on the slave trade and European goods
The European Union and NATO are based in a few different places. It is between European and the United States.
Africa was stripped of many of resources by the European powers who divided it into numerous colonies for each of the different powers. Africa was rich in natural resources, leading to the rise of European industry when these materials were exported to Europe. Africans were typically not taught about how to understand or use modern industrial technologies, preventing them from developing local industrial regions. They also were prevented from learning European philosophical constructs like nationalism, thus avoiding the possibility of African tribes uniting in European-style nation-states.
The first region of Australia to be colonised was Port Jackson, where the settlement of Sydney was established with arrival of the First Fleet in 1788.
There are many different currencies around the world. Most of Europe uses the Euro, South Africa uses Rands, and the United States uses Dollars.
The Native Americans or American Indians lived in the United States before it was first colonized.
