Why Britain did not colonize Ethiopia?

Answer 1

Ethiopia was not colonized because it resisted Italy's colonization efforts by winning the Battle of Adwa using European-made weapons. Although Italy came back to avenge this loss and rule Ethiopia for five years this is not considered as colonization as it lasted for a short period of time and during this time Italy could not control the guerrilla fighters who were fighting to free their country. Ethiopia was very well guarded by its environment and surrounding empires, which played a key role in warding off European invaders. Ethiopians were also very resistant and successful in defeating European powers.
