Original Note:
These territories are not “in” Africa. E.g, the British territory is in the South Atlantic, far from the coast of Africa. Like St. Helena when discovered by the Portugese, these were uninhabited, settled by a company in 17C, and granted status of UK territory later. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Helena,_Ascension_and_Tristan_da_Cunha?wprov=sfti1#English_colonisation
