Eritrea Revolution Day History

As of New Years Day 1890, Italy declared Eritrea a territory of Italy. From 1890 to 1941, Italy ruled Eritrea. There were approximately 100,000 Italian colonists that settled during the 1930s in Eritrea. The Italians considered Eritrea as their first and most important colony. Under the Italian rule, Eritrea enjoyed industrialization and modern infrastructure during Italian rule such as roads and the Eritrean Railway. The Italians remained the colonial power in Eritrea until they were defeated by the Allied forces in 1941. Eritrea came under British administration after the Second World War. Italy surrendered all her colonies including Eritrea in the Peace Treaty of February 1947. Under the British trusteeship, it was decided by the United Nations after a lengthy inquiry about the status of Eritrea, to federate Eritrea with Ethiopia in 1950.
