The war between Ethiopia and Eritrea Since its independence in 1993, Eritrean nation building is

The consequences of the war were extremely gloomy because it opposed to the progress of the nature, destroying human beings. In that harsh war, the living

There has been many significant events of the 20th century that helped shaped what Ethiopia is today. Through imperialism, wars about boarding issues and the death of many great ruler this nation has been standing strong.Today Ethiopia is the second most populated country in Africa, it's the home to over 80 ethnic groups. The largest being the Oromo tribe that makes up over 34% of the population. Not only are they a big ethnic group in Ethiopia but also the neighboring countries such as Kenya and Somalia. Another big ethnic group is Ahmera who are taking up most of the politics and economy in Ethiopia. The rest is the minorities and have a smaller percentage of people or are other people who are are nationally from bordering countries such as Somali and reside in ethiopia. There are around 6.7% of Somalis who live in Ethiopia and adapted to their culture as well.

In the 19th century Eritrea and Ethiopia was one, even though they were one there were still many misunderstanding’s with in them. It was in 1952 when Ethiopia took over Eritrea. From 1961 until 1991, Eritrea had fought a long war of independence against Ethiopia. When my mother uses to live in the village side she and friends would walk to school and every time sees dead people laid on the floor. They would slaughter anyone. On this day in 1991, Eritrea people’s forces moved into the capital Asmara, reinstating independence, and 30 years long battle against the Ethiopian

The country of South Sudan had been through many decades of consistent fighting and civil wars to become the independent country that is today South Sudan. The inequality and unfair government treatment led to their decision of officially breaking the largest country in Africa into two separate countries. Only six years after the peace treaty that finally ended the atrocious civil war did South Sudan gain independence, becoming Africa's newest country. South South Sudan faced many problematic issues wanting to break off and become independent and its own nation because the southerners felt discriminated against by the disagreement with the northern government standards.

There were over ten million deaths that were reported during this period hence making this war the most lethal war that was ever experienced in this world as at that time. There was also a significant amount of government interference experienced at this time leading to extreme measures and directives that came directly from national governments (Coffman, 2014). This was brought about by one of the most lethal differences ever in the 20th century; sparked by rage and a desire to revenge by all the countries. This war brought in a lot of losses including some agricultural losses in the period as such. The governments in this case completely misjudged the war and invested a lot of machinery in it and finances at the time. This was as a result of the desire to try and win this war

The war produced about 1,030,000 casualties, including about 620,000 soldier deaths—two-thirds by disease, and 50,000 civilians. The war accounted for roughly as many American deaths as all American deaths in other U.S. wars combined.

195,000million-430,000million is the estimated amount of innocent civilians who died during the Vietnam War. The war affected the civilians in a number of different ways. From having to move to different countries in order to survive to mass murders in your backyard. The things these civilians faced during this time is unreal; something no one could even fathom.

Another major bad thing in this war the was the costs and casualties. For all involved, the costs of the war in human life and suffering were immense. More than 8 million soldiers

soldiers were killed. The U.S won the battle, but lost the war. Sure the U.S helped feed millions of people for a certain period of time, but overall the intervention turned out to be unsuccessful because once they left, starvation would soon hit Somalia once again. The Somali leader and the main instigator of starvation was not arrested, many innocent people were killed and when the U.S withdrew its troops, 18 soldiers' lives were lost in vain because their mission was not accomplished with their deaths.

An strange factor about Eritrea is that they don’t want too much help from other countries. The fact is that the citizens and the government of Eritrea's have had a bitter 30 years of war for fighting for independence of there

​When it comes to the aggravation of the humanitarian crisis, the war led to population displacement and

Another currnent event that has happended took place on Friday in Jakawa, in the Gambela region of Ethiopia. More than 140 civilians were killed by Gunmen near Ethiopia's western border . The attacker were members of South Sudan’s Murle tribe. The attackers killed many women and children. And many children were abducted and taken into South Sudan.

The Eritrean Nakfa is a hundred times more worthless than the Birr of Ethiopia. Yet the Eritrean protested that the exchange rate should be one for one. When this movement was stopped suddenly and concisely by the Ethiopian government, the Eritreans attempted to take some Ethiopian controlled boarder land. This led to armed retaliation by the Ethiopian government and eventually led to an all out war.

In 1998, fighting began over what is said to be a minor border dispute, as well as differences on ethnicity and economic progress. This is highly understandable considering the various ethnicities in each country, the religious differences, and the tribal conflicts that have been taking place in the region. This fighting began a two-year long war, in which countless men and women were killed and the economies of the two countries ravaged by the military expenditures (Abbink, 2003, p. 410-16). In the end, Ethiopia’s size, military power, and armament won out over Eritrea’s enthusiasm, and the two countries formed a tenuous peace that has lasted through the present (Abbink, 2003, p. 416-17).

The 20th century is very much defined by the cold war that continued from 1947 to 1991. For Eritreans however, that period was not cold, but a never-ending cycle of violence, bloodshed and social displacement. In 1991 the general mood was optimistic as the end of the cold war introduced illusionary terms like globalization and liberalization of economies but that turned out to be misnomers for intensive monopolization of resources. In addition, it ushered wars fought in many countries that were led into destitution by and bad governance by tyrants and warlords: Afghanistan, Congo, Rwanda, Somalia and South Sudan. Ten years later, the circle of fires expanded with the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. Soon,
