Italy attempted to have Ethiopia, or part of it, as a colony twice, in 1889 when they were defeated in battle by the Ethiopian army and again in 1936 when they succeeded in their invasion.

The Italians were defeated in 1941 by British Commonwealth forces assisted by local fighters. Afterwards Ethiopia was recognised as a full sovereign country.
