Egypt was the African nation that gained independence from British control in 1922 after significant nationalist movements and protests. The Egyptian Revolution of 1919 played a crucial role in this process, as it united various segments of society against British rule. While Egypt's independence was limited and did not grant full sovereignty initially, it marked a significant step towards self-governance and inspired other African nations in their struggles for freedom.
India was colonized by Great Britain and the Americas were colonized by various European nations such as Great Britain, France, Portugal, and Spain.
European colonization of Africa was motivated by economic gain, as well as political and social influence. The main colonial powers in Africa around 1900 were Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, and Italy.
The two European countries that sent the most slaves to the Americas were Portugal and Britain. Portugal was heavily involved in the transatlantic slave trade, particularly in supplying slaves to Brazil, while Britain played a significant role in the trade, especially in the Caribbean colonies. Together, they were responsible for a substantial portion of the millions of enslaved Africans transported to the New World.
The winners of the triangle trade were primarily European nations, particularly those involved in maritime trade like Britain, France, and Portugal. They profited immensely from the exchange of goods, including enslaved Africans, sugar, and rum, which fueled their economies.

However, the trade had devastating impacts on enslaved individuals and African communities.

European nations colonized Africa to end human slavery. Commercial considerations came second. The exit of the European rulers saw the reinstitution of slavery. Far more Africans made the trip to Mecca than returned. The United States and Europe accused Arabia and other Arab countries of reinstituting slavery. As a result the enslaved Africans returned from Mecca. Slavery now exists in Sudan and other African Nations not bordering the Mediterranean.
