Before gaining independence in 1993, Eritrea was a province of Ethiopia, having been annexed in 1962 after a period of British administration following World War II. The region has a long history of colonization, first by Italy in the late 19th century, and later by the British from 1941 to 1952. The annexation led to a prolonged struggle for independence, marked by a brutal armed conflict that lasted for nearly three decades. Eritrea finally achieved independence following the Eritrean-Ethiopian War, which concluded with a referendum in 1993, resulting in overwhelming support for independence.

The name "Eritrea" is derived from the ancient Greek name for the Red Sea, "Erythra Thalassa" (meaning "Red Sea"). During the late 19th century, when Italy colonized the region, they adopted this term to refer to their newly acquired territories in the area. The name was officially used when Eritrea became an Italian colony in 1890, and it has remained since Eritrea gained independence in 1993.
