Like the other reply said, the difference is 59 years (1882-1941) for Eritrea, mostly peaceful, vs. 4-5 years of occupation following a brutal war for Ethiopia. Somalia was Italian for 52 years.
Fair enough. There's a reason that Ethiopia is commonly known as one of the only African nations to successfully resist colonization (along with Namibia, though for completely different material reasons)
Wasn't Ethiopia also an Italian colony for some time?
