By 1913, the Europeans had drawn boundaries for their 40 new states or âcoloniesâ. These boundaries form the basis of the African nations we have today. After the destruction of World War II, European countries no longer had the economic muscle or determination to rule Africa. From the 1950s, African countries began to gain their independence. 1  In 1950, four African countries â Liberia, South Africa, Egypt and Ethiopia â were independent.
