African History

During the “Scramble for Africa” era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Ethiopia and Liberia were the only countries (out of 54 total African countries) that were not colonized. This helped my country maintain their pride in being who they were, as well as their extensive cultural heritage - like being the only African country with their own alphabet and calendar, and the second oldest Christian country in the world (they officially accepted Christianity in 4th century AD).
