Review the map titled 'African Colonies in 1914.' The map shows areas labeled as British covering West Africa and areas labeled as French covering East Africa. Two colonies are labeled as independent African states. Based on the map, how did European imperialism affect African nations?

1. Half the states in Africa were under the control of Portugal.
2. Very few African states remained independent by 1914.
3. All of Africa was under European control by 1914.
4. A large number of African states were under the control of Italy.

Based on the map, very few African states remained independent by 1914 due to extensive colonization by European powers, particularly Britain and France, as depicted in the labeled colonies. Option 2 is the correct choice.

Based on the information provided, "Very few African states remained independent by 1914" is the most accurate. The map titled 'African Colonies in 1914' illustrates the extensive colonization of Africa by European powers, particularly Britain and France. The majority of African territories were under the control of European nations, as depicted by the British and French colonies covering significant portions of the continent.

The labeling of only two colonies as independent African states suggests that by 1914, many African nations had lost their sovereignty due to European imperialism. While not all of Africa was under European control, a substantial portion was, leading to a reduction in the number of independent African states as a consequence of colonialism. So, Option 2 is the correct choice.
