10 + Surprising Facts About Ethiopia
Ethiopia was never colonized by the Europeans
Ethiopia is one of only two African nations that are considered to have never been colonized. That being said, Italy involved the country between 1936-1941, but the Ethiopians kept on retaliating, and the nation was never completely under Italian control. The defining moment of the mission was the beginning of World War II. Britain decided to come to the guide of Ethiopia and in the wake of starting their assault, had retaken Addis Ababa in three months or less.
