Ethiopia is a landlocked country located in eastern Africa. It is adjacent to Djibouti and Somalia in the east, Sudan in the west, Kenya in the south, and Elitria in the north, and the two countries have always had a border dispute.

Africa is a land that has been bullied by European powers since the discovery of the world's geographical location. Faced with European invaders holding guns and ammunition, African countries were colonized and enslaved. But there is such an African country that has been preserved in this colonial frenzy and has become one of the countries that has never been colonized in Africa. It is Ethiopia . Ethiopia not only preserved its national independence in WWII , but also maintained good relations with China, the country where he once fought. Even with the help of China, its economy has made rapid progress and became the largest economy in East Africa. Now, due to its huge development potential, it is also known as "African China". Today we will learn about Ethiopia.

Ethiopia is a landlocked country located in eastern Africa. It is adjacent to Djibouti and Somali in the east, Sudan in the west, Kenya in the south, and junction with Elitrea in the north, and there has always been a dispute over border issues, and the two countries look at each other inconsistently. Ethiopia has a population of 105 million, making it the most populous landlocked country. Its capital, , Síaba , is the headquarters of the African Union. It is known as the "political capital" of Africa and is also the economic, cultural and political center of Ethiopia. It is the most densely populated city. There are tens of thousands of Chinese entrepreneurs, workers, engineers and management technicians who make a living and develop here, and Chinese are generally respected here. Ethiopia has a land area of ​​more than 1.1 million square kilometers, with an average altitude of nearly 3,000 meters, and is known as the "roof of Africa". East Africa Rift Valley runs through the entire territory of Ethiopia, dividing the plateau into two parts, north and south. The domestic resources are very rich, but the level of exploration and development is obviously insufficient. Nile originated from this, with many rivers and lakes, especially the coverage rate of clean water sources reached 60%. It is known as the "East Africa Water Tower", but the utilization rate of these rivers is less than 5%, and the development of fishery resources is also relatively backward.

Agriculture is the pillar of Ethiopian economy and has created a large amount of foreign exchange, among which cash crops include coffee, flowers, oil, etc., and the coffee production ranks first in Africa, but the export of raw or roughly processed coffee. It can be said that agricultural development potential is great. The mineral resources of Ethiopian include gold, iron and coal, oil, natural gas , etc. These reserves and distributions need to be further explored. Ethiopia is like a treasure that is about to be developed, attracting numerous foreign investments. So, Ethiopia, which is still developing rapidly, has historically relied on becoming an uncolonized country in Africa? This brings us to Italy, a famous "fence-skinned man" in history.

Speaking of which, Italy has invaded Ethiopia twice, but who would have thought that it had not succeeded twice. This was the first time in the second half of the 19th century. European powers were scrambling to divide the big cake of Africa, and Italy was no exception. Holding the ambition to restore the former glory of the ancient Roman Empire is like Ethiopia sharpening its knife. In 1895, 17,000 Italian troops set foot on the land of Ethiopia with confidence. However, in the next year's decisive battle of Aduwa , the Italian army squatted for three months but failed to find anyone. Instead, they were surrounded and suppressed by the Egyptian army. Half of the 17,000 casualties were beaten home. This second invasion was during World War II . This time, the Italian army vowed to avenge the previous shame and took out a secret weapon - the poison gas bomb, and finally won the victory under many factors. But a few years later, with the support of the international community and the tenacious resistance of the Ethiopian people, Italy was beaten home again before it even sat in the hot spot. In fact, the victory of the Egyptian army in opposition to Italy was not only because Italy, a strange creature, was not considered a Western power, but also because Ethiopia was located on a tropical plateau and had a complex terrain and climate. So the Italian army got sick and lost before the war was even more serious. In addition, its geographical location is close to Europe, and due to its influence, it has carried out certain modernization reforms. It is no longer a primitive indigenous people who don’t even know what guns are.

But when it comes to the impact, Ethiopia is now affected by China.With the proposal and advancement of the "Belt and Road", China has also increased its investment in Africa over the years, which is of great significance to Ethiopia, the country where the African Union headquarters is located. More than 90% of Ethiopia's highways, the first railway, the urban light rail, the national communication network, some wind power plants, and hydropower stations are involved in the construction.

African Union Conference Center in the capital Si Ababa was completed in December 2011 and is one of the key projects for China's aid to Africa. Once implemented, it is the most modern international building in Africa, and it is also called China's precious gift to the African people by local people. Many Chinese people have also come to the streets of the Ethiopian capital because of these investment projects. The houses and buildings are arranged in a scattered manner, and many hotels have Chinese characters and the style of China's second-tier cities. With Ethiopia and China now intimately, who would have thought that Ethiopia had fought a war with China in Korean War . After the end of World War II, the United States took advantage of Britain's time to take care of others and extended a helping hand to Ethiopia, which has an extremely important strategic position, with the intention of turning it into a bridgehead for things involved in Africa. The Ethiopian emperor was also grateful for the large amount of economic and military aid in the United States, and his ambitions were inflated. He immediately vowed to become the helper of the United States and help him maintain national order. Then the Korean War broke out. Ethiopia received the order from the United States and ran to the battlefield with confidence, wanting to defeat China and become famous in one battle. But the result is obvious that they were beaten by the Chinese volunteer army to suffer heavy casualties, and they left this place of right and wrong in sadness and despair. But it is not a fight or acquaintance. After this battle, Ethiopia recognized the international situation, resolutely established friendly relations with China, took China as its teacher, learned from China's development experience, and achieved great development as it wished.
