Colonial Africa Map: European Powers and Independent States #61884 (License: Personal Use)

The map depicts Africa’s political fragmentation during the height of European imperialism, using distinct colors to identify colonies controlled by Belgium (red), Britain (orange), France (yellow), Germany (green), Italy (blue), Portugal (purple), and Spain (dark purple), alongside independent entities such as Ethiopia (white) and Liberia (white). A small island labeled “MARTIN” in orange likely represents Martinique-though misplaced-and the legend clarifies each color’s attribution. The illustration style is simplified and educational, suitable for classroom or historical reference use.

Used in educational websites, history blogs, or museum digital exhibits to explain the Berlin Conference outcomes and colonial legacy in Africa; targets students, educators, and researchers seeking visual context for decolonization narratives.
