Ethiopia is an ancient country with a history of more than 3,000 years. In the third century B.C., the Aksumitic Empire was established. In 13th century an Abyssinian State came into being. Portugal and Britain occupied Ethiopia afterwards. In 1890, the Italian forces took control of Ethiopia and made the country an Italian protectorate. Ethiopia's army defeated Italian forces in Mar. 1896, and Italy was forced to recognize Ethiopian independence. In Nov. 1930, Haile Sellassie I was enthroned as Emperor. In 1974, the armed forces deposed the Emperor and a Provisional Military Administrative Council headed by Aman Andom was formed. At the same time, the junta abolished the constitution and dissolved the parliament. After Mengistu Haile Mariam took power in a coup, the Provisional Military Administrative Council headed by Mengistu exercised ultimate power proclaimed the People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in September 1987. In May 1991 Mengistu's regime was overthrown and a transitional government was established in July with Meles Zanawi, the Chairman of the EPRDF, as interim president of the transitional government. In December, the Constituent Assembly ratified the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, which went into effect in May, 1995, when general elections were held and the transtitional period ended.
