Which two African colonies remained independent?

The two African colonies that remained independent during the period of European colonialism were Liberia and Ethiopia. Liberia was founded in the early 19th century as a settlement for freed American slaves, while Ethiopia successfully resisted colonization, notably defeating Italian forces at the Battle of Adwa in 1896. Both nations maintained their sovereignty throughout the colonial era, although Ethiopia faced occupation during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War from 1935 to 1941.
