 Which African country was never colonized by a European power? 

  • (A) Sudan
  • (B) Egypt
  • (C) Liberia
  • (D) Ethiopia
Ethiopia is unique in that it is the only African nation that successfully resisted European colonization during the Scramble for Africa in the 19th century. Emperor Menelik II’s army successfully repelled Italian colonization at the Battle of Adwa in 1896. While Italy did occupy Ethiopia from 1936 to 1941 during Mussolini’s rule, most historians consider this a brief military occupation rather than full colonization, as Ethiopia never formally surrendered sovereignty during this period.
