African countries established by the United States

Liberia, a small African country, is located along the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa. This country used to be the richest country in Africa and the only country in Africa that was not colonized by Europe, because it was founded by Americans and has been under the protection of the United States.

Liberia was originally the territory of Pygmies, but later Mandingo and other tribes came here. In the14th century, Normans and Portuguese discovered Liberia, where they traded commodities such as pepper, gold and wood. Because there is a local pepper, they call it "pepper coast". With the arrival of British, French, Dutch and other colonists, Liberia became a paradise for colonists, especially the slave trade. /kloc-at the end of 0/8, the American abolitionist movement rose, slavery was gradually abolished in the north of the United States, and many black slaves were liberated. In order to resettle these black slaves and expand colonial power, in 182 1 year, Americans bought a piece of land in Liberia, established local settlements, and transported free blacks to Liberia on a large scale. These settlements eventually evolved into the Federation of Liberia, meaning "King of Thailand".

1847, the federal governor of Liberia announced the establishment of Liberia, and the first democratic Republic in Africa was born. As a country established by American immigrants, Liberia completely imitates the United States in flag, constitution, economic policy and political system, which can be said to be a copy of the United States. With the support of the United States, Liberia flourished and soon became the most democratic and wealthy country in Africa. However, there are also many serious problems in Liberia, the most direct of which is the conflict between a few African immigrants and the dominant indigenous people. Because the two sides have the same skin color, but their lifestyles and concepts are completely different, and their interests conflict, so the contradictions between the two sides are escalating. Both the Liberian Party (later developed into the Peace Party) and the real Whig Party represent the interests of immigrants. They control the power and resources in Liberia, and the local indigenous people in Liberia have no right to speak or stand. The Liberian government has even implemented a vicious apartheid system, treating the local black indigenous brothers as inferior people, even more ruthless than those white colonists, and the conflict between the two ethnic groups has naturally become more and more serious.

Because the United States has no time to take care of Liberia and cannot reconcile its contradictions, it has left Liberia to fend for itself. Liberia soon fell into civil strife and the country went into decline. By the end of 19, Liberia's economy was on the verge of bankruptcy, the government was heavily in debt and the country was in turmoil. The Liberian government had to turn to the United States for help. The United States took over the mess in Liberia, helped Liberia pay off most of its debts, and increased its investment in Liberia, among which firestone Tire and Rubber Company was the most active. Firestone Tire & Rubber Company established the largest rubber plantation in the world in Liberia. Driven by American capital, Liberia's rubber, iron ore and other resources have been developed. Liberia has also become a springboard for American exports to Europe and a transshipment station for African shipping, and its economy has taken off. Liberia not only has developed import and export trade, but also has the largest commercial registered fleet in the world. With the help of the United States, Liberia carried out positive political reforms and broke the long-term apartheid policy, and Liberia ushered in the best golden opportunity for development.

However, in 1978, the long-term ruling Liberian True Whig Party was ousted by the newly established Liberia Progressive Alliance and a large number of careerists. Because the Liberian Progressive Alliance represented the interests of the indigenous people, the American Liberians whose interests were threatened and damaged began to make trouble, which eventually led to serious civil strife and was out of control. During the conflict, many African-American elites fled and the country was in chaos. Liberia began to decline sharply, quite similar to South Africa. In this way, the African version of the United States collapsed, from the richest democracy in Africa to one of the most chaotic and poorest countries in Africa, and even the United States was at a loss.
