      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)
