HISTORY

Ethiopia has a long and varied history that spans many centuries. Ethiopian civilization’s beginnings can be located in the distant past, at least 2.6 million years ago. The Axum Empire, which peaked in the fourth century, was one of many empires to rise and perish in the nation.

Strong ties to the Roman Empire and trading partners on the Arabian Peninsula made Axum a significant trading hub. The Solomonic dynasty, founded by King Solomon and Queen Sheba, ruled Ethiopia for numerous centuries.

Ethiopia successfully resisted European colonialism. Defeating Italian attempts at invasion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries Emperor Menelik II played a pivotal role in this resistance, leading his army to victory in the battle of Adwa in 1896.

The decisive triumph made Ethiopia the only African country to remain independent during the scramble for Africa. Ethiopia’s history is a testament to the resilience and determination of its people.
