Liberia is a special case because it was effectively an American colony but the settlers were mostly Afro-American which is still colonialism
Strictly speaking, Liberia was colonized by Americans – though not Europeans.
But it was more of a resettlement by a group called the [American Colonization Society](https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part3/3p1521.html) than classic colonization by a government.
…yet.
Liberia was a colony of a US based group that gained independence before the scramble for Africa really started.
Emperor Haile Sellassie of Ethiopia made an impassioned plea before the League of Nations to intervene and stop the Italian invasion, and of course, nothing was done. He would go on to be deposed in 1973 by Marxists.
Yeah I guess Liberia really wasn’t colonised by Europeans, but by European-inspired Black-Americans. Still, weird to see it coloured.
(They never got Ehtiopia)
Liberia absolutely was colonized, what are you talking about?
Ethiopia W
Ethiopia’s annexation was from 1936 to 1943, not from ’39
