Why wasn't ethiopia ever colonized

[gurey25]

The biggest mistake Emperor Menelik II ever made was not driving out the Italians from the coast after defeating them. The next biggest was renting out that hot port town to the French. Had he done this, there would have been no such thing as Eritrea or Djibouti.

the french were in djibouti 18 years before menlik became emperor.
and it is a port so the french can keep it with formce, because of naval guns.
100,000 ethiopians would not be able to take it if they tried, and only 20,000 could be sent there due to logistics.

but yes he should have kept going north, the italians would have moved to massawa and would only be left with a djibouti like territory.

It was officially colonised from 1935-1941. According to the berlin colonial agreement in the 1936. Ethiopians prefer the word invasion though because the italians ruined it for them.lol If you are officially known as part of Italy around the world, need an italian visa to enter and exit ethiopia, and the currency is italian lira and 1 million ethiopians are employed by the colonial masters you are colonised because this is is exactly what happens when you are colonised. Their emperor ran like a little b*tch as well to britian. they would tell you that they weren't colonised because they didn't accept it, loool which african country accepted being colonised?? no one had a choice no one could fight back back then. Ethiopia suffered the most humilating military defeat in the modern times before italian took addis, The italian revenged their battle of 40 years earlier with style.

77kii somalia was in reach of raising the somali flag over addis. Somalia nearly colonised eithopia waaxas baa libaxnimo iyo halyeeynimo

Thats why Eithopia never wants to see a united Somalia its sad to see somali be divided amongst each other when the real cadow is in addis.


United Somalia = Free Somali Galbeed

im afraid ur wrong aishah my dream woman ........ koonfurians especially jeberti faggots are our main enemy. lets hope somaliland has what it takes to succeed when it inevitably gets recognition

[theyuusuf143]

it depends on WHAT IS ETHIOPIA? if its particular ethnic region like amhara then may be they were not colonised. if we are talking about all ethiopia including eritrea many parts of ethiopia were colonized by different powers, the somali kilil was british colony, herer was adal empire colony, even though eritrea is not part of ethiopia now, it was italian colony. there could be many other parts of ethiopia colonised by other countries.
