Brief history ==Eritrea is home to one of the first civilizations in Africa. It was ruled by Italy, the United Kingdom, and Ethiopia. It has recently gained its independence from Ethiopia in 1993. The **Eritrean–Ethiopian War** took place from May 1998 to June 2000 between Ethiopia and Eritrea, forming one of the conflicts in the horn of Africa. Over 80,000 people died. Ethiopia and Eritrea are two of the poorest countries spent hundreds of millions at war. Ethiopia was one of Eritrea's main trading partners in Africa, but not after the war. While Eritrea now has their independence, they are still trying to establish their government.==
