History of Somalia
Until the 17th century, Somalia had a tribal system, with both Arab and Chinese influences. From the 15th century to the 19th century, Somalia was invaded by European colonizers until the completion of the "holy war" in the early 20th century, which forced the British to withdraw from Somalia. During World War II, Somalia became a battlefield between Britain and Italy. After the war, the national independence movement was on the rise,
Somalia is the sea route through which freighters from all over the world enter and leave the Suez Canal, and the social and educational systems have collapsed for many years due to the continuous civil war, and the locals have been practicing piracy since the 20th century. The country's pirates extort an incalculable amount of money from foreign merchant ships every year, so much so that the United Nations has launched an investigation and crackdown on the pirate bases in the country.

Early Paleolithic Age, there were primitive inhabitants of the Somali Peninsula. In the 17th century BC, the state of Ponte was established. It is known for the production of spices. Extensive trade with countries such as Egypt, Greece, Arabia and India. In the 7th ~ 8th century AD, the Arabs moved to Somalia and gradually intermarried and settled with local tribes, which had a great impact on the development of Somalia's language, religion and culture. By the 9th century, Somalia had exported spices and ivory to China in exchange for Chinese porcelain. In the 12th ~ 16th century, there were *** city-states such as Zela, Ifat, and Adal in Somalia. In the first half of the 15th century, the Chinese navigator Zheng He's fleet made three trips to Mogadishu and Brava, as well as to the Juba River region. At that time, the interior of Somalia was dominated by pastoralists, and the tribes often clashed over water or grassland, and were politically unified. In the 17th century, the tribal system began to disintegrate, forming many small emirates.
Invasion by European colonistsIn 1516, the Portuguese fleet invaded the coast, shelled Mogadishu, and destroyed the port of Zela. In 1586, the Turks occupied Mogadishu, Zela and other places for a time. In 1827, the British began to invade the Gulf of Aden, and in 1840 occupied the Zela region. In 1887, Britain designated northern Somalia as a "protectorate"; In 1891, the Juba River district in western Somalia was seized. In 1885 the Italians landed in southern Somalia and in 1889 captured the port of Obia. Subsequently, the southern Somali emirates were forced to accept their "protection". In 1891, it occupied the lower Juba River. In 1887 and 1925, the British colonial authorities assigned their occupation of Ogaden and part of the southwestern part of the Somali Peninsula to Ethiopia and Kenya, respectively. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Somali Peninsula was divided into three parts: French Somalia (Port of Djibouti, Afar and Isa Territory), British Somalia (from Zela along the Gulf of Aden to the eastern part of the peninsula) and Italian Somalia (from Cape Guadafoi south to the mouth of the Juba River). In 1925, Italy and Britain demarcated the border between Italian Somalia and British Kenya, and Italy took over the Juba River area by agreement.
The Somali people fought a 20-year "holy war" under the leadership of Sayyid Muhammad ibn Abdullah Hassan from 1899, forcing the British to withdraw their occupation forces from the Somali interior and the rebel people to establish their own regime. In 1920, the Hassan uprising failed. During World War II, Somalia became a battlefield between Britain and Italy. In August 1940, Italian troops invaded British Somalia. In March 1941, after the victory of the British counteroffensive, military rule was established on the Somali Peninsula. In May 1943, the Somali Youth Club, an organization of the national independence movement, was established (reorganized as the Somali Youth Union in 1947) with the objectives of striving for the independence and unity of the Somali nation, establishing a democratic republic, implementing social reforms and eliminating the tribal system, and developing the national economy.
After the Second World War, the Somali national independence movement was on the rise. In 1946, the Somali people held several demonstrations against the Italian Mandate, which were brutally suppressed by the colonial authorities. The Fourth Session of the United Nations General Assembly in November 1945 adopted a resolution to change southern Somalia into an "international trusteeship" within 10 years, with Italy remaining as the trustee power, effectively restoring Italian colonial rule. Further provoking the strong opposition of the Somali people, strikes, demonstrations and mass rallies continued to take place in various parts of the country to appeal to the United Nations for independence. At the beginning of the 50s, large-scale anti-imperialist struggles took place in the cities of Kismayo, Galle Cayo, Melca, etc.
