Answer:
On May 26, 1924, the Act on the limitation of immigration of aliens to the United States, known as the Johnson-Reed Act, was passed. The law determined changes in immigration policy, provided for a reduction in the annual quota of immigrants to 164,667 people. The extensive document contained 32 sections, established the procedure for issuing visas abroad, gave definitions of an immigrant and non-immigrant, described the procedures for admission to the country during the transition period before the introduction of quotas for the country from July 1, 1927.
The main change was the establishment of an annual quota for each country, which amounted to 2% of the number of natives living in the United States registered in the 1890 census. For each country, a minimum number of 100 immigrants was established.
Since each quota had to correspond to the proportion of the population already living in America, the quotas for North Europeans were disproportionately higher than the quotas for potential immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe. The purpose of that law was to maintain the ethnic composition that existed in America at that time. Thus, immigration from Eastern and Southern Europe, as well as Africa, was limited.
The Johnson-Reed Act of 1924 was designed to prevent the growing influence of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe.
The new system, based on the principle of national origin and designed to suspend further ethnic changes in the US population, was supposed to enter into force in 1927, replacing the formal quota system. The system based on "national origin" was finally introduced on July 1, 1929.

Answer:
Italian Ethiopia (in Italian: Etiopia italiana), also known as the Italian Empire of Ethiopia,[1] was the territory of the Ethiopian Empire which was subjugated and occupied by Italy from approximately five years.[2] Italian Ethiopia was not an administrative entity, but the formal name of the former territory of the Ethiopian Empire which now constituted the Governorates of Amhara, Harar, Galla-Sidamo, and Scioa after the establishment of Italian East Africa (Africa Orientale Italiana, AOI).[3]
After the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, in which Ethiopia was occupied by Fascist Italy, the Ethiopian territories were proclaimed part of Italian East Africa (AOI) in 1936, with the capital of the AOI being established in Addis Ababa[4] and Victor Emmanuel III proclaiming himself Emperor of Ethiopia. Fighting between Ethiopian and Italian regular forces continued until February 1937, and afterward guerrilla fighting persisted into 1940.[5][6]
In 1941, during World War II, Ethiopia was liberated by Allied forces, mainly from the British Empire, in the East African Campaign, but an Italian guerrilla war continued until 1943. Despite the return of Emperor Haile Selassie from his exile and the recognition of Ethiopian sovereignty with the signing of an Anglo-Ethiopian Agreement in December 1944, some regions still remained under British occupation for several more years.[7] Under the peace treaty of 1947, Italy recognized the sovereignty and independence of Ethiopia and renounced all claims to special interests or influence in that country.[8] Many Italian settlers remained for decades after receiving full pardon by Emperor Selassie.[9][10]
