A BRIEF HISTORY OF SOMALIA
The country I had was Somalia. Great Britain and Italy came and took over Somalia in 1885. They helped by giving Somalia a government and an army to protect them, but they did badly by taking away their religion. They didn’t like the government taking away their religion (Islam). They had a revolution in 1960 and gained their freedom.
Now they have wars with each others' clans. There are 6 major clans. I think that it would be worse if they were not colonized, because they might not have good cities or even be a country. They might even be taken over by other countries.
