Concept:Ethiopia survived colonial rule through strong military resistance, while Liberia was protected as a settlement for freed American slaves.
Explanation:In the list, Liberia is the former country, and Ethiopia is the latter country.
Ethiopia was not colonised because it was a powerful empire with a strong army and thriving leadership.
It defeated Italian forces at the Battle of Adwa in
1896, securing its independence.
Liberia was not colonised because it was created as a home for freed American slaves.
The American Colonization Society founded it in the nineteenth century, and its special connection with the United States discouraged European colonial takeover.
Thus, military strength protected Ethiopia, while a protected homeland status shielded Liberia.
Answer:B. The latter (Ethiopia) was a strong country with a thriving empire, while the former (Liberia) was a country for freed American slaves.
Correct option: B.
