- The British promised Ethiopia
that if they aided the British against Egypt, a major port city
would be returned to them. Instead, the British gave it over
to the Italians, who fought a war of conquest
against the Ethiopians, including Negus Yohannes IV and Menelik
II. The newly-unified Italy desperately wanted to build an Empire
of her own in Africa. Historically, Menelik II defeated Italy
and captured substantial territory, more than doubling the size
of his empire. It was not until World War I that Ethiopia would
be defeated. Can you duplicate Menelik's success?
