A thing regarding the first Ethiopian campaign: the General in chief of the armies in Eritrea Oreste Baratieri, who had already fought alongside Giuseppe Garibaldi during the Italian unification, wanted to fight in a more cautious and slow way, because he didn’t know the territory very well and preferred to gain more intel before advancing, but prime minister Crispi highly underestimated the size and armaments of the Ethiopian army and obliged him to advance recklessly without scouting the area first - this led to the ambush of Adwa

@@ReddoFreddo Countries mostly did things out of pride at that time. And especially African countries weren't seen as equals. So getting defeated made Italy look very weak and hurt their pride.

[@hiddenhist]

I’ve been scrolling through the comments to check for any repeated myths and i’ll compile a few here: A) “european supplied arms” - many of the weapons used by ethiopian soldiers in the first war would’ve been purchased from markets or arms traders, not given. The most prominent arms dealers were not russian or british, but french (including poet Arthur Rimbaud). Some guns _were_ gifted, though. Ironically, the Italians gave many quality guns to Menelik, back when they were trying to woo him into an alliance against former Emperor Yohannes, who died fighting Mahdists at Gallabat. To my knowledge, the british hardly were involved, actually. I don’t know where that one came from. B) “tribal ethiopia” If you use “tribe” as an aesthetic judgement based on how a place looks, then sure, i guess. But that should not inform what you think of the complexity or “advancement” of their state. Solomonic Ethiopia was one of the longest-lasting empires in history, ruled through a complex beaurocracy with entrenched nobility, clergy, and commoners all interacting in ways that might remind you of europe or the middle east. The same statement honestly applied to many pre-colonial african polities. Ethiopia was not organized around kin-based relations or a basic hierarchy as the word “tribe” entails, but instead saw a complex system of governors, generals, and other officials who were all (atleast theoretically) united under a “king of kings”. C) “abyssinia” Abyssinia is an exonym (foreign name). It would be more accurate to call the empire “ethiopia”, unless you are making a european perspective, which this video isn’t. The emperor was crowned “king of kings of Ethiopia”. D) “ethiopian army” There was not exactly an “ethiopian army”. There were multiple provincial / regional armies that were headed by a _ras_ or _negus_ and which could be called upon by those with positions above them.

[@Airless_]

I know that many of this comments are just memes, but for who is calling Italy “weak” I want to explain why the first Ethiopian war was lost. We simply underestimated our enemy, we thought that they would be unorganized and little to not armed with firearms. So we sent about 20.000 men, wich many of them were Ascari (Eritrean division in Italian army) armed with outdated Vetterelli’s rifle. Little did we know that Ethiopians had bought about 100.000 modern rifles from Russia, and had even modern artillery pieces and some machineguns. As well shown in the video our advance was little, because of logistics (Italy is in the center of the Mediterranean, so not so near to the Horn of Africa) plus the rough terrain of Ethiopia. Main battle of the war was the battle of Adua, were Italy was completly outnumbered; we are talking about: 17.700 men and 56 artillery pieces for Italians and 100.000 men (wich 80.000 with rifles) and 42 artillery pieces and some machineguns. The odds were almost 6:1 for the Ethiopians, and even so the Italians fought till the last, taking Ethiopia between 12.000 to 17.000 casualties. After that the pressure by the citizens on the state, made the government fall, and the cost of bringing other armies to conquer Ethiopia, and the internal problems with protestants, led to the peace treaty between the countries.

[@Airless_]

That’s also why Mussolini invested so much to conquer the country, to show the Italian people that fascism could do what democracy wasn’t able to. From the conquest of Ethiopia Italy didn’t gain much, many (me also) think that it was a waste of resources and men. And that effort of Italy in the second Ethiopian war led to an impairment of the army. For that Italy should have entered WW2 in 1941-1942 to be at its “full power”, but Mussolini thought that the war would have ended faster than that, so he decided to join it as soon as possible. As he said: “I just need some thousands of men deaths to sit at the winners table”

When Italy a colonial power loses to Ethiopia. Absolute bruh moment like if you can beat Ethiopia just leave you will be more of a hindrance than ally.

[@schloky1281]

Italy was a relatively new country in the first war, and in the second one they won. Not seeing your point here.

[@SwfanredLotr]

They won the second war anyways

[@eziostilicone2513]

No, Ethiopia strangely had the advanced guns of that time in 1896, so strange. France and England gave to them the guns to win the war, it's written in the history books.

Ethiopia had modern firearms and planes. Idk why everyone is saying they used spears.

Bro if i was in the italian army and it took 7 months to defeat ethiopia i would just join the partisan forces

[@warheadssociety8177]

You wouldn’t be able to join if your not Italian, so that’s not a possibility.

[@werewolf2969]

Ethiopia had a huge army and pretty much fought to the death so 7 months is y bad

If this war happened today, everyone would be asking Ethiopia to surrender instantly to 'save more lives'.

Menelik II was a political and military genius and is under appreciated as a great world leader. It’s a shame the Solomid line was broken and Ethiopia fell into the lie of African communism. I always try to Abyssinia in CK2 and take Mecca or Jerusalem. Much love from USA!

And how can you have enough divisions to overcome to italy without turning fascist?I mean if you turned fascist Britain will not invitr you to Allies so how could you have defeated Axis. Still i'm glad to have seen a Hoi4 comment

Why would I need this video when I can just play as Italy in HOI4?

[@v01can06]

Germany invaded France faster than Italy invading *ETHIOPIA*

[@m.c.49]

Maybe becaude ethiopia didn'had roads and italians had to built them

[@tiziotizios0956]

@samuelwarren3306 The Ethiopian territory was very difficult, the Ethiopians were used to fighting in the mountains while the Italians had difficulty moving their vehicles, we must also count that the persistence of the Ethiopian army in many battles was remarkable, Emilio De Bono was also an accomplice who made the invasion more slow than necessary (in fact it was replaced after Mussolini's complaints about the offensive)

[@tiziotizios0956]

@samuelwarren3306 Many British and French generals agree that it would have taken Italy 4 years to conquer Ethiopia, so a 7 month campaign isn't great but it's not bad either

[@eziostilicone2513]

Yeah Italy lost the First war with Ethiopia but strangely the Ethiopians had in 1896 the advanced guns of that time, so strange eh? did France and England gave to them something maybe? "Noooooooo Italy weak ahahahahahh" 🤦

[@JastwatchingYT]

AGAIN the fight was *SEVEARLY* unfair for the Ethiopians Italy's military was never ever taken seriously

[@casteddu6740]

@@JastwatchingYT actually no, they outnumbered the Italians by far Indeed the Italian army wasn't even that strong but the main reasons Ethiopia won that time was because of numbers and advanced weapons (not only guns but also cannons if I'm not wrong)

[@JohnSmith-wx9wj]

The Iraqis outnumbered the Coalition in both wars. Even if they had the same equipment, the Iraqis still would have lost due to doctrine, leadership, and logistics. Even with numbers and European weaponry, it's still significant that they won. Of course, one wonders what a late 19th century Italy wanted with a colony anyway...

England and France barely had any significant military deal with Menelik's Ethiopia, Russia is the one who provided Abssynia capability to survive mid Scramble for Africa.
