Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Africa

Explanation:

Colonization occurs as one country or state invades a territory to dominate it and take advantage of it. Colonization is an important part of human history that occurred as western European countries colonized other territories all around the world. In the case of the African continent colonization mainly occurred during the 20th century and especially around 1945.

Indeed, during most of the 20th-century nations in Africa were colonized by European powers, for example, Nigeria, Cameroon, Egypt, and South Africa were controlled by Great Britain while Chad, Algeria, and Sudan were colonized by France. This was caused by the desire of European powers to control more territory and obtain resources. Additionally, this ended just by the end of the 20th century when nations became independent.
