Original Note:
Around 90% of Africa's landmass was colonized by European powers by 1914, with only Ethiopia and Liberia remaining independent. So the claim “the vast majority of Africa was never colonized” is simply not true. Source: "Scramble for Africa," Encyclopædia Britannica, https://www.britannica.com/event/Scramble-for-africa
