Hello! I love Factle. However, Ethiopia was occupied by Italy, not colonized. Ethiopia has always been independent. We don't say that France gained independence in 1944 after being occupied by Nazi Germany; France was an independent country under occupation, and was liberated in 1944. The same should apply to Ethiopia.
Awful visualization. Bar chart makes no sense, use some variation of a line chart to show time.
Thank you for playing today's Factle! Check out the full dataset of African independence/decolonization, including dates and prior ruling countries. Create a chart to break down the entire dataset and contribute an insight for the community to explore!
Or let us know what datasets you'd like to be covered in future Factle trivia games!
