It's hard to say. Many nations/colonies/shipbuilders sent ships to Africa, so there's not a definite answer.
Many settled in modern-day South Africa, Angola, Namibia, Madagascar, Botswana, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zambia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Mauritius, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana and Senegal. These nations still retain considerable white populations.

The Rise of Nations.
Historically, many European nations had colonies in Africa. However, Europe never "owned" the continent.
This practice of having colonies was called Imperialism and there were several reasons for it. This was durinbg the time of industrialization, when nations were building factories and mass-producing things. Colonies were a way to get cheap natural resources and cheap labor. They also created new markets for selling the things that the factories produced. More than just an econimic issue, colonies were a badge of status. The more colonies a nation had, the more powerful it was. It was basically a competition between the nations.
If Europe has African colonies, they are obviously going to want military there for many reasons.
Great Britain France Germany Portugal Italy Belgium
It is commonly described as "the age of Imperialism".
