Most of Britain’s colonies gained independence during the mid-20th century, particularly following World War II. This period saw a wave of decolonization, with countries in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean achieving independence in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Notable examples include India in 1947 and many African nations throughout the 1960s. By the late 20th century, most of the British Empire had dissolved, leading to the independence of former colonies.
In 1950s and 1960s, Ethiopia and Liberia were independent countries in Africa.
Rwanda was ruled by Belgium from about 1918-1960.
The European powers were NOT colonising in the 1950's and 1960's ! -They were busily GIVING independence to their colonies.
Just as with the rest of the African continent, it was colonized by the European powers for the purpose of empire (money, expansion of global influence, to "civilize" the "dark continent"). I believe Rwanda's cash crop was coffee... Germany ruled Rwanda until WW1, then the territory was handed over to Belgium, then independence from Belgium in the 1960s.

Most European colonies gained independence in a wave of decolonization that primarily occurred between the late 1940s and the 1970s, roughly spanning about 30 years. The process varied by region; for instance, many African nations achieved independence in the 1960s, while some Asian countries gained independence earlier, in the late 1940s. The timeline reflects a significant shift in global attitudes towards colonialism and self-determination.

Most African and Asian colonies gained independence from European colonial rule primarily in the mid-20th century, particularly between the 1940s and 1970s. India, for example, achieved independence from Britain in 1947, while many African nations began to gain independence in the 1950s and 1960s, with countries like Ghana leading the way in 1957. This period marked a significant wave of decolonization driven by nationalist movements and changing international attitudes towards colonialism.
