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.
Asian and African colonies joined the war largely due to their colonial ties with European powers involved in the conflict. Many colonies sought to support their colonial rulers, believing that participation would lead to greater political rights or independence post-war. Additionally, local leaders and communities were motivated by a desire to fight against common enemies or to assert their own national identities. The promise of resources and manpower was also a significant factor for the colonial powers seeking to bolster their military efforts.

The creation of overseas colonies was an effort by many European powers to expand their power and spheres of influence. One term to describe this is imperialism.
There were originally 13 colonies in the United States. These colonies were established by European powers such as England, France, and Spain in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Pan-Africanism was a movement that started in 1900 by people of African heritage living outside of Africa.
