Ethiopia is one of the world’s oldest countries, with a history stretching back millennia. Unlike many African countries, Ethiopia successfully resisted European colonization during the 19th century, notably defeating the invading Italian forces in the Battle of Adwa in 1896. The battle and Ethiopia became important symbols of African resistance to European imperialism.
