Re: The world in one word says- Minilik was the greatest leader in the world.

Post by EthioRedSea » 24 Sep 2020, 15:48

This is misleading. Menelik betrayed blacks and Africa by signing the Wuchale Treaty. The war against Italy was mainly carried out by Ethiopian people and their leaders like Ras Mengesha, Ras Alula, Ras Balcha and many others. Ras Alula was the one who led the Battle at Adwa. Menelik II was hiding. Of course he was present and was active after the victory.

Menelik gave away Tigray's 4 districts to Italy to appease Italy and to weaken the House of Yohannes IV who were supposed to be the next leaders of Ethiopia. Had Menelik not signed Wuchale Treaty which is a treaty of betrayal and sabotage against Yohannes and Africa. Menelik would have been glorified by all.

My Russian surname is associated with Negus II, and was given the award "star of Ethiopia" for the services. Was surprised to find out but Russians did have some close friendship with Ethiopians, our Orthodox Brothers.

Ethiopian women fought that war too. They helped by mixing grind pepper and spices with water then spraying at the Italians

Italians really underestimated their opponent, and were hasty but the Ethiopians put aside their differences and came together. That's the winning combo right there!

The thing is that Ethiopia wasn't a loose collection of tribes like a lot of other colonial opponents. Ethiopia was a proper, organized state, with a long history of being a unified political entity dating back to the antiquity era.

As an Ethiopian I am proud that we defeated our independence and won,but just as white men now adays are not responsible (to some extent) for what there ancestors did we did not ourselves fight, our ancestors did so we must continue making Ethiopia better which currently it is at a very rapid pace, all I’m saying is look forward my habesha brothers and sister instead of getting lost in the glories of the past

Women fought in the war too especially in the 5 year occupation by the Italians where Ethiopian women went in undercover and provided info to the armed resistance which were very decisive in winning the war.

This is pretty funny. Ethiopia may have tribal problems but at least they smart enough to know when to put their differences aside and unite as one to defeat an invading force like the Italians. They did the same again under the leadership of Emperor Yohannes IV against Ottoman-Egypt that had superior weaponry. Sudan also did the same with Mahdists and defeated British led Egyptian forces under the command of Hick's and Gordon but eventually lost in 1899. Somalis did the same but were only defeated with Britain started dropping bombs from the air. But the rest of Africa? Failure to accept new ideas and industrialise and unite as one to defeat a common foe thus were colonised by Europeans. Thats why a country like Japan after Matthew Perry's invansion saw it so important to industrialise before a European like Britain or France could try to colonise them like they did with the rest of Asia.
