EthiopiaIs one located atAfricaNortheast countries. Unlike most African countries, Ethiopia wasItalyBefore the occupation (1936-1941), it had maintained its ancient monarchy and system without being swallowed up by the wave of colonialism. In 1974, after a bloody military coup overthrew Emperor Haile Selassie I, who had ruled Ethiopia since the 1930s, Ethiopia changed to socialism, which did not end until 1991.

history
Ethiopia was once the seat of an ancient empire that declined in the millennium BC, and has a legendary history under the rule of successive great emperors. As one of the few African countries that escaped European colonial ambitions, Ethiopia continued to maintain its sovereignty and independence after entering the 20th century, until it was invaded by Mussolini and the Italian army in 1935. At the same time, the famous Haier Selassie worked hard to take his country on the path of modernization and gradual reform when his country was in conflict due to World War II, prompting Ethiopia to stand out in global affairs.
geography
Ethiopia is the tenth largest country in Africa. Its territory covers most of the Horn of Africa and is located along the northeastern coast of the African continent. The Great Rift Valley of East Africa divides it into two, and Ethiopia's landform is mainly composed of plateaus and disjointed mountains. Ethiopia is located above the African plate and is still continuing its process of separation for millions of years. Therefore, earthquakes have been frequent in Ethiopian history. There are also dozens of active and dormant volcanoes in the country. Among them, Erta Ale is one of the few volcanoes in the world where lava lakes can be seen all year round on the tops of mountains.
climate
Although Ethiopia is a rainy tropical region as a whole, the climate varies considerably. After the dry and mild winter, the monsoon brings a lot of rainfall in summer.
