@MEXC Ethiopia was never formally colonized for most of its history, but that doesn't mean it avoided external pressures. It faced foreign invasions, unequal trade relationships, regional conflicts, political instability, famines, and periods of economic isolation.
@elonmusk@Coinvo Many of the world's poorest countries were heavily colonized. Colonialism left behind arbitrary borders, extractive institutions, weakened local industries, and political instability that affected development long after independence.
