作為利比里亞的總統(tǒng)，William Tubman在1944年至1971年之間為利比里亞的經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會(huì)福利做出了許多杰出的貢獻(xiàn)，雖然在那之前利比里亞已經(jīng)是非洲最發(fā)達(dá)的國(guó)家了。 利比里亞在1822年作為美國(guó)的殖民地正式成立，其成立的初衷是為美國(guó)的奴隸提供庇護(hù)所。來自弗吉尼亞州的第一位利比里亞黑人官員Joseph Jenkins Roberts在1847年7月26日正式提出“利比里亞共和國(guó)”的概念。因此利比里亞成為美國(guó)殖民地中第一個(gè)獨(dú)立的非洲憲法國(guó)家。利比里亞與美國(guó)的聯(lián)系十分緊密，美國(guó)扶持其諸如橡膠之類的金融產(chǎn)業(yè)，并將非洲西海岸的港口作為其軍事專用的港口。 ——譯文來自: serena0915
