AnswerVery little. It is the only country European were never able to colonize. They tried, but they never succeeded.Ethiopia was part of Africa so think of how it afected Africa and try narowing it down to Ethiopia.
Ethiopia was one of the few African countries spared colonization, in this case it was an independent kingdom. The "Scramble for Africa" was a period in history that was characterized by European powers expanding their colonial bases into Africa (as well as other parts of the world). This occurred over a number of years between 1700 and 1900, although was probably at its height between 1800 and 1900. This was predominantly to secure raw materials and products for trading as well as manufacture. In some cases there were also strategic moves to control traffic or shipping (in the case of Egypt and the Suez canal).
