‘If powers at a distance come to partition Africa, I do not intend to be an indifferent spectator...’ By the late 1800’s, Ethiopia was the only African kingdom not yet colonized by Europeans. As France and Britain gobbled up nations like Oreos, Italy decided they wanted a bit for themselves. Through the centuries Ethiopia had endured as a Christian oasis in a Islamic world. But could it survive colonisation? This episode follows the life of Emperor Menelik II, an Ethiopian hero. Help support the show on Patreon! Sources and Attributions on our website.
