When did European countries partition the Middle East?
The partitioning of the Upper Middle East between Britain and France under Sykes-Picot Agreement took place in 1917, but the realization of this partitioning in the creation of the Mandates of Palestine, Iraq, and Syria did not happen until 1919. Many other areas of the Middle East came under Imperial Protection even earlier, in the 19th century. Egypt fell under British control in 1882 and the Trucial States (now the United Arab Emirates) fell under British control even earlier, in 1820.
What was the time period when Europe colonized Asia and Africa called?
the first European colonization wave took place from the early 15th century (Portuguese conquest of Ceuta in 1415) until the early 19th century (French invasion of Algeria in 1830), and primarily involved the European colonization of the Americas, though it also included the creation of European colonies in India and other Asian countries (Spanish conquest of Philippines). The colonization of Africa largely did not take place during this era. During this period, European interests in Africa were primarily focused on the establishment of trading posts there, particularly for the Atlantic slave trade.
The second major phase of European colonization, which was primarily focused on Africa and Asia, is known as the period of the New Imperialism.
Ethiopia and which country were not colonized?
Liberia is the other African country that people usually claim is not colonized, but since it was founded by American Blacks who established a very European-style country, it is hard to make the claim that it was not a colonial project.
The show is fake from top to bottom.
the "volunteers" show emotions like they were really in a apocalyptic world meaning they are in fact paid actors and you can also see a gap in the time-line in the last episode of the first season where they go from night to day in about 5 seconds while they are siege(flamethrower scene), thus it can not be a "reality show", the ideas/gadgets are not theirs in fact i am pretty sure they don't even build them, i noticed this because the gas-powered flamethrower they build turned into a liquid-powered one just for the last siege scene.
When did Spanish colonization of the Americas end?

Why was Liechtenstein not colonized If so then who colonized it?
Liechtenstein was not colonized because European countries that expanded and controlled their neighbors were called empires, which is distinct from colonization. In the case of Liechtenstein, it was conquered by the Carolingian Empire, but soon released as an independent principality within the Holy Roman Empire. This state of quasi-alliance with Austria (which was the most powerful member of the HRE), prevented direct conquest. When Napoleon disbanded the HRE, Lichtenstein fell under French indirect occupation for a few years before regaining its independence. From that point until the present Liechtenstein has been independent, save when it has been overrun in wartime.
The best answer to the question is that Liechtenstein's partial sublimation of independence by way of joining the Holy Roman Empire prevented its being outright conquered by neighboring Austria.
Why did European countries colonize Africa?
