Italy gained control of various parts of Somalia in the 1880s and, over the ensuing decades, Italian settlement was encouraged. In 1936 , after the Second Italo-Abyssinian War , Italian Somaliland became part of the Italian African Empire , along with Ethiopia and Eritrea and Libya . In 1941 , the area was occupied by British troops, and the British continued to administer the area until November 1949 , when Italian Somaliland was made a United Nations Trust Territory under Italian administration. On July 1 , 1960 , Italian Somaliland was granted its independence. It immediately united with neighbouring British Somaliland (which had become independent on June 26 ) to form the Republic Of Somalia . REFERENCES |
