When Was Ethiopia Colonized?

Ethiopia was never colonized by a European power, but was occupied by Italians in 1936 (see below); however, several colonial powers had interests and designs on Ethiopia in the context of the 19th-century “Scramble for Africa.”

When was Ethiopia first colonized?

Ethiopia is considered “never colonized” by some scholars, despite Italy’s occupation from 1936–1941 because it did not result in a lasting colonial administration. Seeking to expand its already considerable colonial empire in Africa, Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1895.
