great interview ! notice how the ethiopian victory was not only against italians but the entire Caucasian psyche! their mentality ideals and ego was globally hurt because they see themselves as superior to other races . Their white supremacy mentality and ego pushes them to manipulate, carve out devilish plans to control the world,by force and ruse, and fuels their racism ! but it was all crushed at the battle of adwa ! notice how their ego always finds a way to surface and survive...... the author speaks about how ,at that time ,the american press covered the story that Menelik was white,that Ethiopians were of Phoenician descent, and it keeps going even in the way the interview was conducted , at 7:46 you can see that the battle is portrayed as a battle between blacks ! the whites were the generals making it seem like whites didn't really lose the war since they were not physically there ! but all of the whites were captured by menelik and sent back to Italy intact! could a white general have done so if ethiopians had fought and killed italians in italy? would they have sent ethiopian POV's back to Ethiopia? i highly doubt it! the actions of menelik showed to the world the reverse! ie superiority of the black race !! if we had to speak in their racial tone.....Regardless the battle of Adwa may have happened 128 years ago but the fight continues, africans are still looked down upon ,have their resources stolen from them and are for the most part kept under the poverty line as african leaders are still appointed by whites and are given directives by whites that function under a now hidden but clear as daylight white supremacy ideals! GOD bless all of those who partook in the events that led to the victory at Adwa.... the children , the women, the fathers , the mothers , the warriors , the ras, the kings, the queen and the king of kings atse MEnelik the second who not only fought for Ethiopians but also for black people worldwide and also for white peoples who stand by the almighty Truth and have love and respect for humanity as a whole.

Page 211+1 Only the Ethiopians under Emperor Menelik II (r. 1889-1911) were successful in resisting European conquest, annihilating an Italian force at the Battle of Adwa (Aduwa) in 1896.

You are a full off#$hit

Yes, Professor! Minilik was a brilliant strategist. With out his leadership Ethiopia may not won the battle. Better to say the war!

great man much respact❤❤❤

Any recommendations for churches to visit in Rome?

makes me tear becose of this battel changed the story of entire black life!

I am proud to be an Ethiopian. Thank you professor.

Weren’t Ethiopians also enslaved other Africans lol hypocrisy is astounding Any way glad the back stabbing Italians were defeated

ABOUT KING Yohans menilik never have conflict with him Italy never provides gun for menilik about Eritrea u layer . Menilik was unthinkable he is the greater man of the black people

C???

Why did he stated as the "first time" Black army victory over White 🤦🙆😡 That's our one of Hundreds battle since the beginning of time. Ethiopian never lost a war and never been colonized ever!!!!

Hèros Menelik II For Africa I'am ADWA

I perawed of milk

This is a completely false telling of history. A COMPLETE REWRITING OF HISTORY. Yohanes IV was not in any way emperor to Ethiopia and has never been and will never be. Yohannes the IV colluded with the British in order to undermine Atse Thedros, which ended up Atse Thedros killing himself to save Ethiopia. A traitor, a sahel barbarian like Yohannes IV who found Abyssinia when colonialists were trying to piece up Africa will never, EVER, in any form be emporeror, and he was never, EVER, crowned as an Emperor, becuase he was simply seen as a traitor and also a barbarian who adopted a culture that was not like the one of his ancestors. A culture thief Yohannes cannot in any form be an emporor. This man only simply tells the story tplf pumped out, in combination with white fear writing anything that isn't violently demanded by cultural thiefs and violent gangs like tigrays.

This brings tears to my eyes and gives me goosebumps.

God is with us this is the reason to win.Bless my country ETHIOPIA😘😙💚💛❤

Iwant this book from where lcan found please

Plus ou moins 120 000 Ethiopiens contre 11 000 Italiens et 6.700 Ascari Eritrei .......... 5200 morts entre Italiens et Ascari, avec 1.500 blessés. Les Ethiopiens ont eu environ 7.000 morts et 10 000 blesses (plus de 50% d'entre eux sont morts dans les jours suivants) .... More or less 120,000 Ethiopians against 11,000 Italians and 6,700 Ascari Eritrei .......... 5,200 dead between Italians and Ascari, with 1,500 injured. The Ethiopians had around 7,000 dead and 10,000 wounded (more than 50% of them died in the following days) ....

La d’agostini é l’esempio calzante di emancipazione. Dovrebbero (provare) ad ascoltarla le galline che protestano. Chepau franca e scusi se l’ho usata come capro espiatorio.

Good to hear our true history from non Ethiopian

Good video ! 4:11 undermining Yohannes IV ! 5:22! gifting Eritrea to the Italians! historical facts not discussed in Ethiopia, in fact always denied!

what I got from his 10 minute interview: the reason Eritreans are so hostile towards Minilik and sometimes Ethiopia and the reason tegaru started to hate Ethiopia. Minilik did not give Eritrea to Italy as a reward. If he did and Italy accepted the gift, why the battil of Adwa then? wake up Ethiopians and be united again

this kind of sugar coated story divided Ethiopia. Minilik did not give Eritrea as a reward, he just couldn't reach that far to protect Eritrea

Blessings to Ethiopia, love from Jamaica.

This profesor is a legend the victory of Ethiopians on the battle Adwa for most whites became tuhh ey coudn't belive the reality. But the truth never change Always Good things always win all evils

Adwa is not the first battle with Italy!!! the first battle and defeated Italy in Dugale in 1888 !!! U can check the castle 500 memorial in Room

Che gran donna!

But the Italians were defeated not only in Adwa even though Adwa was the biggest battle, other than Adwa, there are the battles of Gundet, Gura, Dogali, etc...

Adawa history is the black dey of the black poeple. Only history dogeali or katit.or kufit th true history.

Let the soul of our black king Menilik.always live in the heaven.................He was such a Brave and a true patriot for his country......LONG LIVE FOR OUR COUNTRY

Minilek our hero

Minilek never gave ertria as a gift he just couldn’t spare any more of his ppl

I don't know if it's a "record" (and I was not trying to establish a record), but my longest list that I felt was completed on a single subject was 8,000 pages (on 8.5 x 11 paper in 40 notebooks). Also, I've never seen a study that is related to Hypergraphia and the "Quirky Mind" negative traits of many high IQ individuals.

Molto interessante!

Francesca is beautiful!

I proud of minilik and appreciate ur explanation John

Don’t fight with the Ethiopian ☝️

Can you listen to this bullshit, the white man lie about all of history, they did’t fight half the war they clam but like the native Americans they lied, broke and took advantage of treaties that was offered in good faith and then lied making up stories of epic battles, killed and pillaged unsuspecting witnesses to cover their lies and betrayals. Look into history and you will see the endless inconsistencies in every aspect of their history that they are so conveniently that author of.

Menelik let Eritrea to Italian. Wow so amhara people must stop wondering to be adwa defenders.

HOLLYWOOD Please make a movie about Ethiopia. This was EPIC. Ethiopia- the only Unconquered & Un colonized land in all of Africa.

4:45 this guy believes Italy thought Menelek was going to "topple" Yohannes in exchange for weapons... and he calls himself a scholar lol. He clearly doesn't read much Ethiopian history, and buys up all the Italian propoganda from then to now. You can even sense his want to say (inaccurately) that Ethiopia did not resist colonization afterwards (of course out of place regarding 1894 Adwa). Typical white racist dog whistling. The one thing I can agree on is that this pea-brained academic is an Italian studies professor! (FYI Menelek's men didn't have much in arms, but of what he did have he got from neighbors, and defeating Europeans like Mr Jonas' beloved dead Italians.)(Italy, like most of Europe, were serial treaty abusers, so author implying menelek as seemingly dishonest shows his warped historical viewpoint.) In the 2010s, we should expect better from 'educated' white people.

I came here expecting more "Dio can"!

Actually, the war was fought by the Ethiopian people. Minilik was more of a symbol than a true leader. He was forced to fight by the pressure from within. If he were a real hero, he wouldn't have sold parts of Ethiopia to Italy and France.

Proud for you minilek

This book full of lies cause yohannes and minilek got diplomatic sign a lache agreement 1878 recognizing emperor yohannes as a king of Ethiopia and menelik as a prince of Ethiopia so menelik will take over after yohannes die. There is no trade of menelik and Italians against King yohannes.maybe this professor can mislead the rest world but not Ethiopians.how can you wrote a book from out of assumptions.

People ask how we won without checking our backgrounds.we are the descendants of memnon as homer wrote equally warrior as Achilles.so winning is in our blood.we are a natural soldiers.

If you want true version of real history of adwa read Russian and Ethiopian historians wrote.
