The Liberian Frontier Force, the military of Liberia, is thoroughly corrupt and unmanageable and only recent help from the United States has helped reverse this state.
In addition, the Americo-Liberal elites still rule the land, despite only being a small percentage of the population and the Hinterlands of Liberia remain largely uncontrolled by the government. They have only just begun to recover from that economic disaster, but politically they are still reeling from the League of Nations investigation into the possible use of slaves in Liberian rubber plantations. In the Great War, Liberia joined the Entente, only to have their economy decimated as a result. Only the intervention of the United States has kept this small republic alive. Founded by America in the 1800’s, Liberia has struggled since its inception against the native population and against the British and French who eye their land jealousy.
LiberiaThe small African Republic of Liberia stands apart in Africa as one of only two independent African countries, and the only Black Republic.
