In 1941, Italian Somalia was occupied by British and South African troops as part of the East African Campaign of World war II. The British continued to administer the area until November 1949, when Italian Somalia was made a Trust Territory by the United Nations under Italian administration.
On July 1, 1960, Somalia was granted independence. The former Italian colony immediately united with the neighbouring State of Somaliland, which had become independent on 26 June, to form the Republic of Somalia.
