In fact all of your choices are in eastern Africa. So they are all wrong.
Yeeh-Yeahh it is
Yes, the correct answer is Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the large West African country that has never been colonized by a world power.
To find the answer to this question, you can start by understanding the history of colonization in Africa. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, European powers, particularly Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, and Italy, colonized most of Africa through imperial expansion. They established colonies and exerted control over most African territories.
However, Ethiopia managed to resist European colonization. The Battle of Adwa in 1896 is a significant event in Ethiopian history, where Ethiopian forces, under Emperor Menelik II, defeated the Italian colonial forces attempting to control the country. This victory allowed Ethiopia to maintain its independence and remain as one of the few African countries that were never colonized.
So, to answer your question, the correct answer is indeed Ethiopia.
