Why was there such a rush to colonize Africa?
Well, there may be various reasons why Africa was cololized in a rush.
I believe it was because Africa had untouched resources both in terms of human and natural. And every country which believed in its power rushed to colonize Africa.
Also, it could also be because Africans were relatively undeveloped which gave European an advantage and gave them an incentive to rush.
Hope it helps!
What country in Africa had never been colonized?
The only African country not colonised by a European power was Ethiopia (formerly called Abyssinia). The Italians did invade Abyssinia in 1936 but never successfully conquered it and were driven out by 1945.
Liberia was established by the government of the United States of America as a place in Africa where freed slaves could return to.
Until 1933, the evidence is at best contradictory: Since 1898 the US had shown iteself to be an ardent meddler in other countries as well as a land of racial prejudice, particularly but not exclusively in the South. The country's record of elected government was more promising, though many still lacked an effective voice - notably southern blacks.
There was some movement toward a more positive international role: in 1900 the US had opposed European seizures of territory in China, and in 1905 it brokered peace between Russia and Japan. US involvement in World War I came with a strong democratic and internationalist message, though the latter aspect was rejected by voters at the restoration of peace. In 1928 the US and France sponsored the Pact of Paris which repudiated war (on paper, anyway), and in 1932 US refusal to recognise Japan's seizure of Manchuria (northeast China) signalled opposition to armed aggression in the Old World.
Roosevelt's assumption of the Presidency (1933) signalled further change: the "Good Neighbor" policy pledged more respect for the independence of Latin America's republics, while the US extended its participation in some of the international bodies created after World War I (though without joining the League of Nations). At home the New Deal empowered workers, aligning the US with the cause of improvement for the poor as well as anti-fascism abroad. Progress on race relations was muted, but despite continued official acquiescence in segregation, blacks benefited from the Administration's economic policies and responded by voting strongly for the Democrats from 1936, ending their traditional support for the Republicans, the old anti-slavery party.
Who was the first country to try and colonize North America and why?
The first country to successfully colonize the Americas was Spain. The first peoples to start colonies in the Americas, if we are to not include the Natives who came from Russia, are the Vikings. Leif Eriksson of Greenland sailed to North America (specifically Canada) and established a colony, which after losing connection to its mother-country, Greenland, dissolved. This Viking colonization of North America occurred over 500 years before Christopher Columbus' birth.
When did plants first colonize land?
In the paleozoic, more specifically the Silurian period.

What talents are needed to colonize a planet?
The talents needed to colonize a planet would depend upon which planet you are colonizing. Some are harder to colonize than others, and in any event, this is a very hypothetical question since we are not remotely capable of colonizing any planet at this time in human history. Mars would be the best bet, but we really are not prepared to make the kind of investment that would be needed to colonize Mars (although I understand that some people want to fund a trip to Mars as a reality TV program, something like Survivor Mars - it is doubtful that this could result in a self-sustaining colony, but who know). So let's say you are going to colonize Mars. This is not easy to do since Mars does not have a breathable atmosphere. It would require massive technological support to colonize a planet like Mars, and that in turn means that the talents you need lie in the field of science and technology. You have to be able to build and maintain very sophisticated machinery, and if you don't do that, you will run out of air and will die. It's a serious business.

Why did the Europeans not colonize Egypt?
The British did colonize Egypt in 1882 after the Second Anglo-Egyptian War. However, as was typical with Old World British Colonies, the British colonized Egypt indirectly by controlling the previous ruling dynasty (the Khedivites). This allowed that all of the infrastructure previously developed by the Khedivites to be effective in maintaining law and order in Egypt.
