Original Note:
The areas in pink are bodies of water, not uncolonized countries. Two African countries were not colonized by Europe: Liberia (set up by the American Colonization Society as a homeland for freed slaves) and Ethiopia (although occupied by Fascist Italy from 1936-41). https://www.thoughtco.com/countries-in-africa-considered-never-colonized-43742
