Most of the continent of Africa had been colonized by the year 1900. The African colonization was one by 7 European nations.
Among the European countries that established their own colonies in Africa were Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. While some countries (including France, Spain, and Portugal) had colonized parts of Africa as far back as the 1500s, the majority of the colonization by the European powers occurred in the mid-to late 1800s. To a certain extent, the Dutch were apart of this colonization as they formed a group of other Europeans who settled in what was South Africa. They were called Afrikaners.
The major European countries that colonized Africa included Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, and Italy. The colonization began in earnest during the late 19th century, particularly following the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, which regulated European colonization and trade in Africa. Britain and France were the most dominant powers, with Britain focusing on regions like Egypt and South Africa, while France concentrated on West and Central Africa. Other nations, such as Belgium, under King Leopold II, infamously colonized the Congo Free State, while Germany and Italy also established territories in East and North Africa.
