But the main Ethiopian church (which is Oriental Orthodox) is not in communion with the Eastern Orthodox (which Russia is primarily) which is a detail that was not mentioned in the video. But I guess in the end they are still closer to each other than to the Roman Catholics.

They invaded before and culd never take Ethiopia.. so they Cheated & committed war crimes. They used HUNDREDS of bombers and bombed farms as well as cities.. their tactic was to stop Ethiopia's Production capabilities... Those bombs and chemicals poisoned the land for YEARS and created famine well into the 80's & 90's... Remember those "Save the Children" commercials with the skinny starving kids? THAT was the famine created by those bombs. So by THOSE standards, considering they had 30 years to build after recovering barely 60% of its production capacity from the war, famine & resulting chaos. I'd say Ethiopia is doing VERY well and there are great things in its future because it has LOTS of resources & Great ports.. aaaand its in great trading distance from Opec. Like i said gotta read more then just american news and american history books to REALLY know what is going on in the world.. america is not unlike china Less restricted but still restricted.

In Italy's defence... The Italians had many factors playing against them: 1 - Ethiopia must have clearly seen an invasion coming, being the only African country outside of European control. Hence the good military preparation. 2 - Ethiopia was a proper country, not a tribal territory like most of Africa. That made the aforementioned preparation possible. 3 - Italy had only recently unified, making it impossible to anticipate the invasion (and Ethiopian military preparation). It also couldn't have waited much longer, as it would have either lost Eritrea and Somalia to Ethiopia, or Ethiopia to another European power.

An army on foot in 1895 could easily be defeated by the Ethiopian climate alone. If you supply them with horses and carts, what will the horses eat and drink? Each horse and cart would have to carry enough food and water for itself and whoever is controlling the horse, that doesn't leave much if any room for water, food, and other supplies for the troops they are supplying. I imagine the locals had an insane logistical advantage.
