The twentieth century has been one of turmoil for Ethiopia. Haile Selassie and co-regent Zauditu ruled from 1916 until Zauditu died in 1930. Selassie received the title of King in 1925 and of Emperor in 1930. Italian troops overpowered Ethiopia in 1935, but with the fall of Italy to the British Allies in 1941, Ethiopia was restored to freedom.
