African countries were the colonies of European countries and the governments of those countries consider the African colonies as the most secure ones. It was mainly because people of European countries were engaged to get a place in Africa till the end of the 19th century as these African places were the free market to sell their products of industrial revolution. Africans had no leader which is probably the main reason behind late independence. In addition to this, the influence of Asian countries touched Africa much later. It was only after 1975 the African colonies started to be decolonized by the influence of other countries.
