Praxis 5941 Practice Test Practice Question

Which of the following states existed prior to European colonization of Africa?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Ethiopia has a long history as an independent state, with roots tracing back to ancient civilizations like the Kingdom of Aksum, existing well before European colonization. Mozambique and Nigeria, while having rich histories, were significantly impacted by European influence and colonial rule during the 19th century. Kenva appears to be a misspelling of "Kenya," which, like Mozambique and Nigeria, faced European colonization. Thus, Ethiopia stands out as the only option that maintained its sovereignty prior to European intervention.
