Why didn't Liberia become a colony?

Why didn't Liberia become a colony? This should start with the history of the founding of Liberia. Liberia is located in western Africa, bordering Guinea in the north, Sierra Leone in the northwest, C? te d 'Ivoire in the east and the Atlantic Ocean in the southwest. From the 9th century to the10th century, it was called the Grain Coast, and some people moved to the Sahara Desert and near West Africa. /kloc-In the second half of the 5th century, the Portuguese came here to sell slaves, and then colonists from Holland, Britain, France and Germany invaded one after another, but never formed a stable regime.

The American abolitionist movement broke out in June of 5438+082 1 and 12. After that, black Americans were sent back to Africa, and Providence Island became the place where the first batch of black immigrants landed, and was named Liberia (the city of freedom) in June 5438+0824. 1838, the federal Republic of Liberia was established, and the American colonial society sent someone as governor. 1847 declared independence on July 26th, established Liberia, and claimed to be the first * * * republic in Africa.

The Republic of Maryland was established in another black immigrant area on February 4th, 854 1857 and merged into Libya. 1860, African-American immigrants established a real independent party, which came into power from 1869. Until April of 1980 and 12, the local indigenous crane people staged a coup, ending the rule of African-American immigrants and establishing a military government.

It is not difficult to find that Liberia actually had a special connection with the United States at the beginning of the founding of 1847. It can even be said that Liberia is almost a black American immigrant country. So there is no danger of being colonized by other countries.

The True Independence Party, composed of African-American immigrants and their descendants, was in power in Liberia for more than 100 years until it was overthrown in the 1980s. At this time, the wave of colonialism has subsided, and the possibility of becoming a colony is even smaller. So that's why Liberia has never been a colony in history.
