There is actually an African nation that was never ever had the slightest feel of colonization. This country was not colonized by the West and is now over 2,000 years old of age. Africa is now the world\’s least developed continent, and the continent has some of the world\’s oldest structures of centralised government.

Aside from Egypt, which’s generally regarded as one of the oldest cradles of human civilization, there is another African nation that has been around for more than 2000 years and was never colonized by Western power during the rush.

Ethiopia is the only African nation that has no independence date and this is because no Western force has colonized it. Ethiopia was already an established empire, with a good and modern army, long before the West nations began their race for Africa.

Many European governments, which had formed numerous diplomatic ties with the ancient country, recognised the country as an integrated nation.

While Ethiopia, like many other African nations, has not been completely colonized, it must nevertheless be remembered that Italy tried to overtake the country more often.

This struggle in the year 1935, when they went to Addis Ababa in the year 1936 to take possession of the country, and it became very serious. This culminated in the colonial era, which lasted for just five years, which was very harsh which intensely resistant.

Ethiopia recovered its rights in the year 1941, according to Wikipedia.org. This became inevitable when the tide of World War 2, which brought a huge weakness to Ethiopia-born Haile Selassie, started to turn against the Italians, and in 1941 it eventually drove them off with the assistance of the British army.

But how come Ethiopia isn\’t the giant of Africa?
