Ethiopia is the second-most populous country in Africa (after Nigeria). Ethiopia is one of the oldest locations of human life known to scientists and is widely considered the region from which Homo sapiens first set out for the Middle East and points beyond. Unique among African countries, Ethiopia was never colonized, maintaining its independence throughout the Scramble for Africa onward, except for five years (1936 41) when it was under Italian military occupation. This book offers information on Ethiopia and its notable places.
