Religion
Ethiopia is one of the first countries to adopt Christianity in the 4th century. Addis Ababa is mostly Christianity but 1/3 is Muslims. In 2007 there were 62.8% Christians, 33.9% Islamic, 2.6% Traditional and 0.6% Ethiopian.
Countries such as Britain and France had conquered smaller nations in the "Scramble for Africa" in the nineteenth century. In 1896, Italy had attempted to expand in eastern Africa by adding Ethiopia to her conquests (which included Eritrea and Somaliland), but the Italians were heavily defeated by the Ethiopians at the Battle of Adowa.
In 1934, Ethiopia was still one of the few independent states in a European-dominated Africa. In 1928, Italy had signed a treaty of friendship with Ethiopian leader Haile Selassie, but Italy was already secretly planning to invade the African nation. In December 1934, a dispute at the Wal Wal oasis along the border between Ethiopia and Italian Somaliland gave Italian dictator Benito Mussolini an excuse to respond with aggression. Italian troops stationed in Somaliland and Eritrea was instructed to attack Ethiopia. Overwhelmed by the use of tanks and mustard gas, the Ethiopians stood little chance. The capital, Addis Ababa, fell in May 1936 and Haile Selassie was removed from the throne and replaced by the king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel. Ethiopian people are to be the oldest human inhabited areas.
