The two African colonies that remained independent during the period of European colonialism were Liberia and Ethiopia. Liberia was founded in the early 19th century as a settlement for freed American slaves, while Ethiopia successfully resisted colonization, notably defeating Italian forces at the Battle of Adwa in 1896. Both nations maintained their sovereignty throughout the colonial era, although Ethiopia faced occupation during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War from 1935 to 1941.

It's complicated.Two countries were not "created". The United Nations allowed for two states, a Jewish State and an Arab State to declare independence in Mandatory Palestine in 1947.

In 1950, the only four independent nations in Africa were Liberia, which gained independence in 1847, and Ethiopia, which maintained its sovereignty except for a brief Italian occupation from 1936 to 1941. The other two nations, Egypt and South Africa, were also recognized as independent, though they were under colonial rule in various forms. Most African countries were still colonies during this period, with independence movements gaining momentum in the following decades.
Following independence it was necessary for African nations to set up transition governments for two key reasons. One was for restoring the integrity of territories. The other was for carrying fair and free elections.

These nations symbolize African resilience and sovereignty during a time of widespread colonial expansion.
