In the early 1900s, most of Africa was under colonial rule by European powers, with significant territories controlled by Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, and Italy. The Scramble for Africa, which peaked in the late 19th century, resulted in the partitioning of the continent among these nations. British colonies included Egypt and South Africa, while France controlled large areas in West and Central Africa. This period was characterized by exploitation and resistance, leading to profound social, economic, and political changes across the continent.
