Colonial Africa Map: European Powers’ Territorial Control in the 19th-20th Century #6177 (License: Personal Use)

This hand-drawn-style map depicts the partition of Africa among seven European colonial powers-Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain-as formalized during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Each territory is color-coded according to its colonizer, with white indicating independent states like Liberia and Ethiopia (though Ethiopia’s status changed later). The label “MARTIN” appears near Madagascar, likely referencing the creator or a specific edition.

Used in educational resources, history websites, and classroom materials to teach the Scramble for Africa, imperialism, and decolonization. Matches user intent for visual learning about colonial history, geography lessons, or research on African political boundaries pre-independence.
