The two nations Europeans did established colonies during New Imperialism was India and Africa. Africa was controlled by 2 or more European nations ever since Berlin Conference took place. India was later controlled by Great Britain. It was controlled until the year of 1945. Remember Ghandi, a nationalist leader. And the most important man in India until the year of 1945.
