Eritrea became independent from Ethiopia after a long and brutal struggle for liberation, which culminated in a war that lasted from 1961 to 1991. The conflict was driven by Eritrean nationalism and opposition to Ethiopian annexation. Eritrea officially gained its independence on May 24, 1993, following a UN-supervised referendum in which the Eritrean people overwhelmingly voted for independence.
Eritrea was summoned to become a country in 1991, though it only became a state. Eritrea finally became an independent country in 1993.
