The conquest of Italian East Africa in 1941 by British imperial and commonwealth forces raised questions about the future of its composite territories of Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia. Whereas the latter two colonies were put under British military administration, the degree of Ethiopian independence was contested between the restored Emperor Haile Selassie and Britain. It took three years, and two Anglo-Ethiopian agreements, to reach a compromise which satisfied neither party. Moreover, it led to the involvement of the United States, and was to complicate Anglo-American relations in the Horn of Africa during the Second World War.

摘要

The conquest of Italian East Africa in 1941 by British imperial and commonwealth forces raised questions about the future of its composite territories of Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia. Whereas the latter two colonies were put under British military administration, the degree of Ethiopian independence was contested between the restored Emperor Haile Selassie and Britain. It took three years, and two Anglo-Ethiopian agreements, to reach a compromise which satisfied neither party. Moreover, it led to the involvement of the United States, and was to complicate Anglo-American relations in the Horn of Africa during the Second World War.
