History

Marta_Voda [28]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Liberia successfully resisted colonization because of an alliance with the United States.

Explanation:

The Republic of Liberia is an West African state that declared its independence in 1847. It was founded by free blacks and freed black slaves who emigrated from the United States, feeling that by returning to their African homeland they would fare better than in the US, where slavery and racism were still common and widespread. Still, it remained closely linked to the US and was modelled after it. Liberia was unique amongst African nations as it was a settler colony created by blacks from outside Africa. <u>Because of its unique origin and close alliance to the US, it was able resist colonization by the European</u>s, although Liberia still lost several territories to the UK and France that it claimed as its own. Nevertheless, by the turn of the 20th century, Liberia and Ethiopia were the only independent African countries, while the rest of the continent had been divided amongst the European imperialist powers.

Answer:

<u><em>A. Toleration of Act of 1649</em></u>
