The power struggles that ensued during Haile Selassie's ascent to the throne amidst Ethiopian nobles significantly weakened Ethiopia, resulting in diminished military strength, particularly in the central and northern regions. The conflicts between Lij Eyasu and Shewan forces inflicted heavy casualties on both sides, especially in Shewa and Wollo,. Additionally, the war between the Shewan coalition and the Gonderian forces, led by Empress Zewditu's husband, further drained Ethiopia's resources and military prowess. These internal conflicts left Ethiopia vulnerable and ill-prepared for external threats by the time.

[@BombataIsReal]

How could’ve selassie prevented this? What if the nobles didn’t make Ethiopia weaker?

[@davidbraccini4770]

Thanks for the video! The reason why the video ends with some Ethiopians sacks of resistance is because, according to Mack Smith, it took the Italians until the eve of WW2 in 1940 to control effectively 90% of territory and the Ethiopian resistance went from 100k fighters in 1937 to 25k in 1938. In particular after the fall of Addis Abeba in May 1936 the regent appointed by the emperor, Imru Haile Selassie, surrendered in December 1936 and the two last main Ethiopian commanders, Ras Desta Damtwe and Haile Mariam, were killed in February 1937 and in June 1938 respectively. Italy to fight the fierce Ethiopian resistance had to utilize chimical warfare that was made illegal by the protocol of Geneva in 1925. One of the Last sacks of resistance near the city of Menz were rounded up in March 1939 and after that the resistance was forced to stay in the border zone near Sudan. In the end Italian East Africa was recognized by all countries with even the Usa considering recognizing all of the italian empire, however there was the exception of the URSS. The number of italian colonist went from 6,000 in Eritrea and Somalia in 1936 to 170,000 in the whole Italian east Africa in 1940 and the italians built many infrastructures and contrasted slavery that although was previously banned by Ethiopia was still largely used. Even for a small period of time, between 1936 and 1941, Ethiopia was an Italian colony, despite like many other colonized countries having still a great resistance movement.

[@lasojotas791]

What does contrasted mean in this context? That it was persecuded?

[@gio7647]

very good observations. When WW2 started, Italy had effectively being fighting heavily on 2 fronts for the prior half decade;. Chiefly in Spain, where their so-called "volunteer expedition", with more than 50000 troops committed from 1936 onwards, was more of a downscaled army, with corresponding equipment and hardware continuously coming. In Ethiopia, where they had to quell the resistance in a land three times as large than Italy proper, a largely mountainous one at that, and above all where dozens of tribes and ethnicities were brought together by an untouchable, revered God-Emperor-like leader figure for millennia, and now were expected to suddenly bow to a foreign "emperor" thousands of miles away? not very good premises for a pacification effort! Also, we must mention Lybia, officially done and conquered in 1912, but where actually there had been a long-lasting uprising movement that had barely begun to die off in the first half of the 30's, hence the unusually large deployment therein of the Regio Esercito, to ward off any menace from the desert... just in case.

[@yummiesubliminals]

Ethiopia was never colonized, and I can see from your name that you are Italian. There was no lasting colonial structure built, and it was not an administrative entity. This makes it comparable to the German occupation of France. This is why modern historians consider it an occupation, not a colonization. This is such common knowledge you can easily google it and find it, which makes me wonder why you're purposefully trying to misrepresent history.

[@dayros2023]

The video should had the days count going faster, as the first months were mostly spent as a build up and preparations of troops. Also the Italian casualties count the dead (a few thousands) the injured and the sick togethers, while the Ethiopian casualties only count the deaths. In any case it’s interesting to see the speed of conquests as most of Ethiopia is mountainous and military experts predicted that it would have taken much more time to conquer it.

​@@user-lj6ib5ss2g мнение безграмотного диванного эксперта? Итальянская армия настолько хороша, что: 1. Почти за 6 лет оккупации Эфиопии так и не смогли полностью взять её под контроль 2. Обладали такой организованностью, что чуть не просрали грекам всю Албанию 3. Настолько хорошие воины, что без помощи немцев потеряли бы в 1941 году вслед за Эфиопией ещё и Ливию. 4. Спустя ещё 2 года войны, Италия и вовсе была захвачена союзниками Советская армия слабее итальянской? Ооо, ну давай и тут разнесу тебя 1. Да, Красная армия пострадала из-за чисток, что сказалось на её боеспособности в первый год войны. 2. Советская армия настолько слаба, что сломала Вермахту хребет в битвах под Москвой, Сталинградом и Курском 3. Советская армия настолько слаба, что операцией "Багратион" в рекордные сроки освободила огромные территории 4. Советская армия настолько слаба, что умудрилась взять Берлин Так кому ты тут что-то своим недомнением пытаешься что-то доказать, ребёнок?)

Wait what I’m confused the ending doesn’t make sense

[@JamesCalbraith]

the fighting in the provinces continued for three more years. that's just the 'official' end of the war.

[@Heylanda-fb9xb]

Although the war "officially" ended. The Ethiopian would continue to wedge guerilla war against the Italian until their complete liberation by the British in 1943 (the country itself would be liberated in 1941 but, in a role reversal, they would fight the remaining Italian resistance until 1943.)

Even if Italy had stayed out of WW2, Ethiopia would have become independent again by the 1960s. You only have to look at the Portuguese empire to see what would have happened.

[@MainstreamPoPsucks3]

How do you calculate losses everyday? To do that properly you would need daily casualties reports as well as primary sources for replacesments and recoverable losses.

italians had around 4400 casualties at the end of 1936

Because the Ethiopians actually had rifles. Outdated rifles at that point, but add mountain warfare, and it's understandable.
