Haile Selassie, the Emperor of Ethiopia, played a significant role in Eritrea's history during the Italian occupation and the subsequent federation with Ethiopia. After World War II, he advocated for Eritrea's annexation to Ethiopia, asserting that it was a historical and cultural part of the Ethiopian Empire. In 1962, he formally dissolved the federation, integrating Eritrea into Ethiopia, which led to significant unrest and the eventual Eritrean War of Independence. His actions have had lasting impacts on Eritrean-Ethiopian relations.
