Unique among African countries, the ancient Ethiopian monarchy maintained its freedom from colonial rule with the exception of the 1936-41 Italian occupation during World War II. In 1974, a military junta, the Derg, deposed Emperor Haile SELASSIE (who had ruled since 1930) and established a socialist state. Torn by bloody coups, uprisings, wide-scale drought, and massive refugee problems, the regime was finally toppled in 1991 by a coalition of rebel forces, the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF). A constitution was adopted in 1994, and Ethiopia's first multiparty elections were held in 1995. A border war with Eritrea late in the 1990's ended with a peace treaty in December 2000. Final demarcation of the boundary is currently on hold due to Ethiopian objections to an international commission's finding requiring it to surrender territory considered sensitive to Ethiopia.

THE WONDERFUL AND RICH HISTORY THAT ETHIOPIA OFFER THE WORLD
Ethiopia was the first country to be established on earth, with Ethiopians the originators of worship of gods as well as establishers of laws. Later ages gained from Ethiopia the fundamental principles of equality, temperance, industry, intelligence and justice.
Much documented ancient history pertains to the highly cultivated Egyptian Pharaonic Dynasties. Understandably this would be the point of easiest obtainable information due to the availability of well preserved information about Ancient Egypt. What is not so widely accepted is the knowledge that Egypt is renowned for was brought forth by the Egyptian priesthood who were Ethiopian. Egypt was a colony of the parent body Ethiopia.
There have been many attempts by white scholars and scientists to "white wash" Egypt of first, the historical evidence of it being part of the larger Cushite Empire and next to take away its original Black beginnings. Careful and painstaking investigations by authors such as this one have uncovered much evidence to the contrary.
Egypt became an easy target of "white wash" corruption of history, as it was an international capital of sorts, with many foreigners frequenting this great stronghold of ancient wisdom to study and acquire the ancient teachings cultivated and carried to Egypt by the priests and caretakers of Ethiopia.
Simultaneous with Egyptian civilization evolving, the migrations to Asia and Western Europe by the early Ethiopians, came into their own as highly cultivated settlements of the Cushite Empire.
Egypt and Babylon led the way in cultivating art, science, literature, also alphabetical writings, astronomy, history, chronology, architecture, with textile industries seeming to have had their origins in these countries. Domestication of animals and the foundations of agriculture also can be attributed to these advanced societies. What is considered current strides in technology has been directly contributed to from these ancient civilizations.
Linguistic discoveries were proof that Ethiopians in the earliest times extended themselves along the southern shores of the continents from Abyssinia to India. The Sanskrit writings, considered sacred writings in India, describe the extended domains of the Ancient Cushite Empire. They mention one of the emigrations going out from the Upper Nile as having peopled India. The Puranas (Sanskrit ancient writings with a focus on the history of the Universe) divided the world into 7 divisions (dwipas). Sancha dwipa was Africa. Cusha dwipa was the land of Cush, India and the Mediterranean.
the ancient Cushites entered India they did not encounter Indo-Europeans but instead could have encountered aboriginal Malays who would have been absorbed into the clan as was the Ethiopian custom throughout their domains.
The early history of the Dravidians of Asia at the time of this book has not been entirely deciphered but it is stated, in ethnic type, the Dravidians are Ethiopian and are the people who civilized India.
The originations of the communal districts of India, this simple system of cooperation of the Cushite people built the temples, palaces and giant engineering projects that are wonders today. The basis of the achievements of Babylonia, Egypt and Ethiopia are the result of this communal system.
Indirect trade from India to the Mediterranean has existed since very ancient times. Although Greece has no recorded history, the Aegean civilization preceded historic Greek civilization. Mythology of the Greeks are the literature of the Cushites who populated western Europe.
