About this listen
In this episode, we journey back to the late 19th century to explore the First Italo-Ethiopian War, a conflict that challenged the prevailing notions of European dominance in Africa. Our hosts delve into the ambitious motivations of Italy, a newly unified nation, as they sought to expand their empire into Ethiopia. However, a critical misunderstanding stemming from the Treaty of Huel ignited tensions that would lead to a stunning upset at the Battle of Adwa. Join us as we examine the strategic brilliance of Emperor Menelik II and the factors that contributed to Ethiopia's remarkable victory against a European power. This episode highlights the importance of internal unity, diplomacy, and the enduring spirit of resistance.
