The country’s economy is recovering and developing because the civil war between 1990 and 1997 affected a great part of it. Nowadays the economy is based upon agriculture (ules and hard and expensive woods), fishing (surprisingly it has one of the largest fleet in the world) and the iron resources (the main resource). It was occupied by the slaves who came from U.S.A. and it was founded at 16 July 1847. Visit Liberia!
