Somali's are documented as people in rich city states due to indian trade you are ahistoric.

What does speaking semitic have to do with anything? Somalis speak their own cushitic language. Also they converted prior to receiving any "arab support" they converted whilst the Muslim control was only around 1 city it was not some huge empire at the time and was struggling with infighting.

Thanks for visiting the 13 months of sunshine, and for the military support at that time, but the the truth is the castel of Emperor Fasilades in Gondar city was not built by portugiese let me brief it. the portugies armey with 400 men lead by Christofer Dagama arrived in 16th century, after the battle was completed some of them remain in the country. in the early 17th century Empror Susiniyos converted to Catholics. after this incidence the people of Abyssinia rebel on him. after that he succeed the thrown to his son Fasil or Fasiladas as an Emperor. immediately the Emperor sent out all foreign nations in the country. this is called the close door policy, that is why Ethiopia is not active in world politics for about 300years until 19 th century.

[@opakular]

@Forsaken Janissary Actually, many Africans voluntarily converted to Islam and then created large empires. Mansa Musa's wealth resulted more than from a trade in slaves. Mali's wealth derived from it being situated between lucrative trade routes connecting North Africa with lands south of the Sahara. Gold and salt were shipped through these routes. Mali's taxation of trade routes is what made Mali and its emperors exorbitantly wealthy.

Fun fact. Before the battle began 16:16 the Ottoman soldiers made a great speach to the Adal sultanate soldiers. In the past we didn't know what they said because there were no records. But now after the joint 2018 somali turkey history search we can finally know what they said. Today's battle is sponsored by the Ottoman empire, one of the biggest empire of the 16th century and it's totally free! Currently almost 200 thousand soldiers have joined sultanate over the last century, and it's one of the most impressive empire, in its Sipahi with detailed armor, horses and smooth Kilij that decapitate 100 Hussars and landsknecht per month! All the army in the empire can be customized with unique gear that changes your armor buffs and firearms! The Incest Habsburgs have some ridiculous skills of their own and figuring out the perfect party and strategy to take Vienna is a lot of fun! Currently with over 15,000,000 subjects, the ottoman empire has almost a perfect score on the Balkans! The empire is growing fast and the highly anticipated war in the indian ocean feature is now live, you might even find my squad out there in Hindustan! It's easier to start now than ever with rates program for new soldiers. You get a new daily akce reward for the first 90 days that you join the empire! So what are you waiting for?

The moment when the few remaining Portuguese trained the Ethiopians with using the musket reminded me of the film "last samurai", where the Japanese were trained with using modern firing equipment.

[@brunopimenta8204]

Guess what, the portuguese are credited with the introduction of firearms "arquebus or Tanegashima" to Japan in 1543 absolutely altering the course of Japanese history, it was during the Sengoku period that Samurai based warfare declined with the increasing deployment of large numbers of Ashigaru in battle not exactly in the Meiji restoration period as shown in the movie, still it's a great Tom Cruise performance don´t get me wrong even tho misleading about history.from 🇵🇹

[@filipevasconcelos8499]

Well,...if I remember well, the chronicles over here in Portugal doesn't say quite that (the ~50 remaining training their allies in the use of the musket) otherwise this would make a lot of sense right when they landed from the Armada heading to the Red Sea. Indeed there was a big cache of material, some heavy, that had been buried because it was not feasible to move it around, and in some extent the training could have happened but it doesn't look to have been written by the writer which accompanied the expedition. What it is written is that a complete change of tactics took place for the final engagement with the Portuguese contingent taking care (aim) solely against the Ottomans while the Ethiopian Cavalry and other forces doing as much as possible to cover them. Eventually one good aimed shot made the difference. It is also not commented that the Ethiopian Royalty weren't impressed at first with the number or ability of the Portuguese that came in their help. Cristovão da Gama was aware of that and in one of the early skirmishes when the Ethiopian allies advised to simply go around an enemy high ground stronghold they classified as too difficult to take, he took a chance to single handed with his men take it out without help of their allies. The description of the events is interesting. For some days the Portuguese would probe the walls with small groups. On a safe distance, hidden, the Artillery commanders were observing where the reaction was showing in the walls and doing their maths. When finally the day of the assault come, they divided the group and storm the fort from 3(?) sides. Already knowing where the defenders would gather, the artillery showed up and fired simultaneously for the 1st time with repeated precise hits, creating havoc in the structure & defences. Casualties among the Portuguese were very low. At the distance it is said the Royalty was witnessing the events astonished and from that point onwards they would comply with whatever the course of action the Portuguese suggest.

[@boqorbeerta8780]

Thank you for finally covering some of the historical battles in the horn of Africa. However, some of the info is not correct, the number of Turkish and Arab fighters on the side of the Adel sultanate is exaggerated. Most of the Army of Adel were predominantly Somalis, Afar and small number of other locals.

I am so absolutely proud and excited by the fact you're venturing into neglected and little-discussed conflicts and history such as those from our little pocket of the world, East Africa (Somalia)

[@Neraphim]

Imam Ahmad is noted by the majority of scholars to be a somali. He's mostly known for leading a majority somali army that defeated the Ethiopians. The Ethiopians actually outnumbered the somalis the majority of the time actually. There's actually a battle where the Ethiopians had 200,000 footmen and 10,000 knights whereas the somalis were only 15,000. The somalis only had a single elite company of gunners.

[@ayubosman3105]

@@Neraphim tell me more about this

[@Neraphim]

@@ayubosman3105 Imam Ahmed Ibrahim Al Ghazi (nicknamed Gurey in somali) was a somali imam who waged a jihad against the solomonic dynasty. He fought many major battles where most he was outnumbered over 10-1. He conquered 2/3rds of the Ethiopians lands. However they asked for help from the Portuguese,, they lost some of their land, Ahmed asked the help of the ottomans and there was one final battle where he was eventually killed. In the end, everything returned back to how it was in the beginning. What Kings and General does is make it seem like an Arab-Habashi war which it isn't. The majority of Ahmed's army including himself were somali tribal warriors. Also he makes it seem like a one sided annihilation of the somalis. This is because he only uses Portuguese sources. He never bothers using the Futuh Al Habasha, it was written by one of his followers Sihab Ad-Din Ahmad. If this video was non biased he'd have used both sources and using analogy he'd use the more accurate source of the two for different parts of the story. However he biases the Habashi side and makes them look like they dominate the somalis. Its the other way around, throughout history whenever it was 1v1 between somalis and Ethiopians we'd always kick their asses. However they always run to Europeans for help.

Ottomans battles in North Africa would be interesting to see, thanks you for these quality videos

[@achimachi5519]

They destroyed themselfs and us by taking north africa the means reason why colonization of north africa Began is the ottoman empire

[@e.t.8369]

@@achimachi5519 colonization africa was about to start first by the Portugese, then by the Spainards and French. Ottomans stopped that actually. But I suppose everyone needs a scapegoat for their inabilties.

@@achimachi5519 I have no idea what are you talking about. Buddy, you need some help.

[@achimachi5519]

@@e.t.8369 I mean im honest and it is hard to answer this as a turk because you dont care

[@e.t.8369]

@@achimachi5519 I mean if those things you said happened its not for me to say sorry. But even if they did it doesn't have anything to do with history. If you're from Morocco especially. Since Ottomans didn't even control your country, as Moroccans fought against the Ottomans allying the Christians. And if you're talking about hatred against Arabs, I will not lie and say it don't exist but its mostly due to the thought that Arabs have backstabbed the Turks during WWI. How true that is debatable of course but here its in thr public schools history lessons.
