In which region was almost every country colonized by an imperial power in
the 19th century?

Answer 1

In the 19th century, almost every country in Africa was colonized by various imperial powers. The Letter III is correct. The Option D.

This period of intense colonization in Africa is commonly referred to as the "Scramble for Africa." During this time, European powers such as Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Portugal along with others, aggressively expanded their empires by laying claim to African territories. This colonization had profound and lasting impacts on the continent which shapes its modern political boundaries, economies, and societies.

The colonization of Africa was driven by a combination of factors, including economic interests, competition among European powers and the belief in the superiority of European culture and civilization.

This period of imperialism resulted in the loss of sovereignty for many African nations and the disruption of their traditional ways of life.
