Editing North Africa (section)

==== Colonial Period ====
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, European powers colonized North Africa, significantly impacting its political, social, and economic structures.

# '''French Colonization''': France established control over Algeria in 1830, followed by Tunisia in 1881 and Morocco (as a protectorate) in 1912. The French implemented policies that reshaped these societies, leading to both economic exploitation and infrastructural development.
# '''Italian Colonization''': Italy colonized Libya in 1911, transforming it into an important part of its colonial empire. The Italian rule saw significant infrastructural development but also resistance and conflict.
# '''Spanish Influence''': Spain also had a presence in Morocco, establishing control over parts of northern and southern Morocco. The Spanish influence is still evident in the region's culture and architecture.
