In antiquity, Somalie wis a important centre for commerce wi the rest o the auncient warld.

The auncient Puntites war a naition o fowk that haed close relations wi Pharaonic Egyp durin the times o Pharaoh Sahure an Queen Hatshepsut. The pyramidal structures, temples an auncient hooses o dressed stane littered aroon the kintra are said tae date frae this period. Durin the Middle Ages, several pouerfou Somali empires dominatit the regional tred, includin the Ajuuraan State, the Sultanate o Adal, the Warsangali Sultanate an the Gobroon Dynasty.

Due tae thir successfu expeditions, the Dervish State wis recognised as an ally bi the Ottoman an German Empires.  Ottoman Turks an aa named Hassan Emir o the Somali naition, an the Germans promised tae offeecially recognise ony territories the Dervishes wur tae acquire. Efter a quarter o a century o haudin the Breetish at bay, the Dervishes war finally defeatit in 1920 as a direct consequence o Breetain's new policy o aerial bombardment. As a result o this bombardment, umwhile Dervish territories war turned intae a protectorate o Breetain.
