Africa was the continent most significantly carved up by European countries during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly during the Scramble for Africa. Nations like Britain, France, Germany, and Belgium competed for control over various territories, leading to the establishment of colonial rule. This partitioning often disregarded existing ethnic and cultural boundaries, resulting in lasting impacts on the continent's political and social structures. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 formalized this division among European powers.
Britain, France and Spain were the first countries to colonize in the New World. Spain was the first, since it was the most powerful European country, adn it colonized Mexico and the West. France's colonies were farther north, in what is now Canada. Britain was last to colonize and it had the 13 bristish colonies split in three colonies: New England, Middle, and Southern colonies.
