Ethiopia and Liberia remained free from colonial rule primarily due to their unique historical and political circumstances. Ethiopia successfully resisted Italian colonization during the First Italo-Ethiopian War (1895-1896) and maintained its sovereignty through strong leadership and military prowess, famously defeating Italy at the Battle of Adwa. Meanwhile, Liberia was established in the early 19th century as a settlement for freed African American slaves, which helped it maintain a distinct identity and governance structure, ultimately securing its independence. Both nations managed to navigate the pressures of European Imperialism while fostering a sense of national identity.
