Yohannes's situation has gone from bad to terrible. Italy advances on his empire from the north; the Mahdists launch increasingly devastating raids from the east; and to the south, Menelik slowly gnaws at Yohannes's base of power. During this episode, the Emperor will make efforts to solve all three of these extremely pressing issues, culminating in the largest battle he will ever fight. Patreo...

In spite of initially calm relations, the Mahdist state will engage in two brutal battles against the Ethiopian Empire.

Ethiopian histories often gloss over Menelik's southern conquests. That said, glossing over these campaigns is perhaps the biggest mistake one can make if they want to understand Ethiopian history - they were critical for the rise of Ethiopia's most famous Emperor. After years of preparation, this future Emperor is now preparing himself for one of his most important conquests - that of the city...

Harar was solely inhabited by the hawiye and hararis and oromos
It's called the somali region. ogaden is 1 of 50 tribes there in that region. Its a name the british encountered in the desert regions closer to somalia...its highly insulting
Can you make a video about the Oromo expansion conquest and the Machaa Oromo conquest

You're among the few i can count who actually do the sudan and africa as a whole justice. Thanks.

Warangal in Telangana, India has these kinds of walls. According to the texts inner circles of wall of mud, stone, brass etc. total 8 eight layers. This was built by queen Rani Rudrama Devi. In google map we can see the walls surrounding the city Warangal
Audience members physically moving the pieces to illustrate their suggestions sounds like a nightmare of backseat gaming.
ras alula the greatest general ever in history
Fantastic video
my old ladys side is Gurage nice
my old man told me our foreather came from the north down into oromia (jimma) in the late 1800s possibly as a muslim missionary. this channel has been a cherr on the top of cake in learning my entire history as an Israelite from modern day ethiopia so yea
From history pass down by our forefathers, the moth (iya) was definitely for defence purposes. There were a lot of wars fought during Ewuare 1 which makes that account plausible. Besides, the families os some of the lookout on the iya are still very proud of their role till today.
i love your videos keep it up

Thanks for sharing. Much to still learn with pre-colonial African history.
Harar belongs to harari ppl and oromo and Somali
He was evil he killed many of his own people and teamed with Italians to kill yohaness. Menelik failed to protect gojjam, Menelik conspired against Yohannes
just like how Yohannes conspired against tewdros

Great presentation.
Just came across your channel. Instantly captivated!
Among the Harari solders, 700 of them are newly wedding men and 500 of them among these newly wedding men were Haviz (who memorized the Holly Quran by heart)
Overall the documentary is good. Here is what is missing 1) Harari flag 2) Menilik had 35 thousand Amhara solders, 70 thousand Oromo solders and 112 British soldiers in charge of Artillery and consultants 3) Amir Abdulahi had 4 thousand Harari solders, 3 thousand Somali soldiers, and 2 thousand Oromo solders 4) the Battle of Chelenqo lasted 11 houses and 45 minutes Source: Kabir Ahmed Abdujalil who in 1973 at age of 109 in the city of Jigjiga. He lost his father and brother in the battle of Chelenqo. He founded the city of Jigjiga after he, his brother and mother were expelled from city of Harar in February 1887.

I show a lot of Pagan rune in this building, the best exemple is the rune "gungnir", " La lance d'Odin", in the haoussa culture his name is "neud de l'arewa" It's mean "neud du nord"
Eritreans hate that story. They think it is a fairy tale. It had never happen. They think that they are Italians.
? Eritreans were the majority Ras Alula's army since he was governor of Asmara and fought in this battle, while the Amharas like menelik were plotting on how to Snake Emperor yohannes lol.
Menelik is the King of Kings. No one can deny the truth. He united his people, created the modern Ethiopia, and fought for her liberty until his death with of course his wife, the lioness of the horn, Etegie Taytu and other heroes💚💛❤. And yaa I forgot to say it: Menelik is always the King of the Kings.
Now this is what I like to see! People rarely talk about this part of history.
Interesting history Great job I must say, the history is truly ancient indeed and it’s quite understandable that you had to leave out some information in order to achieve a detailed summary. I’ll like to see more of the Great Benin Empire history here especially that Of Queen Idia and her son Oba Esigie.
why's it always the conquest of ethiopia when they lost??? it's more the embaressment of egypt
