where there was mass capitulation and/or submission:

I don't think you can count any of those continents as places were mass capitulation or submission took place. Even in North America, which was one of the most peaceful continents, Indian Wars were perpetual.

Africa had centuries of contact with both the Arabs and Europeans and yet did not build and develop in a way to resist them

Not really. North Africa not only resisted but occasionally conquered into Europe. Europeans knew of Central and Southern Africa, but it was functionally impenetrable due to Malaria. Despite knowing that Africa was there, Europeans couldn't push more than 50 miles inland. It was called the "Dark Continent" because of exploration, not skin color. Contact with central or southern Africa was minimal at best for centuries, because there was no hope of colonizing it until after Malaria treatments were possible.

except if I'm remembering Ethiopia but they suffered later thanks to Italy and chemical weapons...

Ethiopia didn't have regular contact with Europeans prior to the Age of Sail. They had regular contact with Indian Ocean bordering civilizations: Arabia, Persia, Indus Valley, Orient, and Indonesia. Due to the weather patterns of Monsoon season making international trade only possible at certain times of the year, and given the distances involved, most of these civilizations neglected to have significant naval wars, or attempt to colonize one another unless there were land borders.

The first people to change that dynamic were the Portuguese who made aggressive efforts to set up colonies and vassals among each region or civilization; and also made an effort to annex or vassalize them. The Ethiopians on the coast had more regular civilizations, but they were typically as advanced as any Arab or Persian middle age civilization. As you went further inland (and as the geography became less passable), civilization became far more primitive. Portuguese contact with the Ethiopians was only around the 1600's. Prior to that Ethiopia (Abyssinia) was largely unknown to Europeans. Indians would have been more familiar with them than the European peoples.

And yes, they were hit with Chemical weapons in their war with Italy.
