Especially the first map…Ethiopia alone is unconquered.
Ethiopia was actually briefly occupied by Fascist Italy in the 1930s, but it largely resisted the earlier primary waves of European colonization.
The emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, made a powerful and prophetic speech to the League of Nations (which condemned the Italian aggression but ultimately did nothing to stop it) in 1936 where he made the famous anti-fascist and anti-imperialist cautionary statement, “today us, tomorrow you.” And he was right, because not even a year later Nazi Germany started making territorial demands of its neighbors which eventually escalated to the massive bloodshed of World War 2, where Hitler tried to conquer almost all of Europe.
