The biggest European country that played a major role in attempting to colonize Africa was the United Kingdom. Britain had the largest empire in the world during the 19th and early 20th centuries, and it controlled various territories across Africa through its colonial rule. British colonization in Africa spanned regions such as Southern Africa (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia), Eastern Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania), West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria), and North Africa (Egypt, Sudan). British colonial interests were driven by economic motives, including the extraction of natural resources and the expansion of trade routes.
