The USA, despite being a great power, didn't carve up Africa. So why not? Cody: Real reason was we just didnt need to. Firstly the Europeans powers were known to fight amongst themselves for new colonies so it really wouldnt make sense for the United States to jump on Africa without possible consequences of arguments with Europeans power. Another thing is the United States had already built itself an empire when it expanded west on the North American continent and when it won the war against Spain taking its colonies in the Pacific and Southeast Asia. Also the United States started to build a great deal of influence in Latin America pretty much shutting Europe out of the picture with the Monroe Doctrine which also helped with both WW2 and WW1 which ensured no colonies of adversities would try to attack the American mainland.

It's (not) funny how they talk about Africa like it was this sparsely populated land just waiting to be settled and cultivated.
The land was STOLEN, the resources were STOLEN, the art was STOLEN, the culture was STOLEN, the history was STOLEN, the people were STOLEN, RAPED, TERRORIZED, MURDERED.
. but the SPIRIT never died.
And now we're coming back for what's rightfully ours.

If you think about it, the USA got exactly what it wanted now. They destroyed the colonial empires ganranting the strength of France and England Who could have been potential rivals, they financed civil war in every young states to ensure there would always be warring kingdoms and warlords from wich they can buy cheap materials and sell weapons. Africa is the american dream.

What I love about US is its commitment to open trade, both in the past and today (with the exception of Trump's idiotic trade war with China. Free trade is the best thing that has happened to the planet Earth - even in the ancient societies, it encouraged progress and gave everyone the opportunity to break through, whether by production or trade of products and services.

US gets so much shet for slavery meanwhile Europe including Belgium did far worse and they literally stole the continent and made slaves of everyone. The main difference is you wont see Belgium making their version of 12 years a Slave. US is always reflective of its mistakes while most other countries bury their shameful past.

Because God intervened and decided there were ENOUGH countries involved

These people have blood and souls on their hands, i wonder if they'll make to heaven.

He already had strong business on the continent, and they emerged from a civil war. They created Liberia to deport former slaves there but it was not successful. This seems logical to venture into a colonial war.

Because they figured out that a few coups a year and some limited invasions are cheaper than full on colonial occupation, and natural resources and trade can still be controlled that way.

Colonization & colonialism in Africa were committed by non-White people as well as White people. Not to mention it was no stranger to either act before the 15th century CE.
reply

Anyone who says that the colonization of Africa by the Europeans wasn't good for Africa nor Africans has a brain damaged caused by the anti-White propaganda.

The European Continental subsoil is a bunker of junks that is why they retrofit Africa wealthiest subsoil with mosquito proboscis economic policies
reply

America? Europeans taking native Indians land - why would they go to Africa and take their land while the first job wasn't complete?
reply

Guess that was good for them because they didnt have to feel bad about inevitability losing them like all the European powers did

The short answer is they already had to deal and still do to this day with africans at home. Why add more on top of a bad thing?
reply

Santo Domingo is not the name of the Island. In any case would be Hispaniola or call it by the two different country names.
reply

But the USA made up for this with assassinations of African leaders it didn't like, just like in Cuba and Latin America
