You don't have to keep repeating yourself, and under two different names!
You failed to address the issue of the 300 years of colonization in Liberia before the American Society got involved, starting with the Portuguese in 1461.
Also, the Italians never really controlled most of Ethiopia. It was much like the situation with the Americans in Afghanistan. The Italians controlled the cities and roads (during the day) and the Ethiopians controlled the rest.
