Colonial Africa Map: European Powers' Territorial Claims in the Scramble for Africa #3021124 (License: Personal Use)

The map uses distinct colors to represent colonial holdings: red for Belgium (Congo), orange for Britain (e.g., Egypt, South Africa), yellow for France (West and North Africa), green for Germany (Tanganyika, Southwest Africa), blue for Italy (Libya, Somalia), purple for Portugal (Angola, Mozambique), and dark purple for Spain (Morocco, Western Sahara). A white area labeled “INDEPENDENT” indicates Liberia and Ethiopia, while “MARTIN” appears in southern Africa, likely a labeling error or placeholder.
