The event that occurred last among the options provided is the beginning of European colonialism in Africa.

Here’s a brief timeline of the other events for context:

  1. The rise of independent sultanates on the Swahili Coast occurred from around the 10th century onward.
  2. The establishment of a trade network that connected the Swahili Coast with various regions began around the 1st millennium CE and intensified over the following centuries.
