European countries were able to impose their will because they had large standing armies and were relatively well organised. . In the days when Europeans took over and colonised parts of Africa there were very few African countries, let alone countries with an organised structure. The British, French, Spanish, Belgians and Portuguese all had armies and colonial civil services that could literally 'create' colonies from unorganised wilderness.
