In the 16th century, Ethiopia was invaded by the Portuguese. The Portuguese were eventually defeated, but their invasion had a lasting impact on the country. Ethiopia became isolated from the rest of the world and its economy declined.

After World War II, Ethiopia became a member of the United Nations. It also played a leading role in the formation of the Organization of African Unity. In 1974, a military coup overthrew the monarchy and established a socialist government.

The socialist government was overthrown in 1991. A new constitution was adopted in 1995 and Ethiopia became a federal republic.
