    The power of a woman - she showed her husband what he could not see - to never let white man to come and take land that they had no right to and to stand firm in the belief they were not to be respected. This mighty Empress deserved her title. -Thank you Home Team your work is to be respected .

    Menilik was cool but Empress Taytu was a badass!! She had a battalion of like 3000 warriors that she personally commanded if i'm not mistaken. In that story mentioned in the video, it was her idea for the mission to surround and cut-off an Italian unit from its water supply, forcing it to surrender. When they eventually did days later, Emp. Menilik set the captured soldiers free, allowing them to return to their base in Eritrea and continue fighting the Ethiopian forces. She could only taunt so much :)

    Taytu Betul (c.1851-1918) was a formidable queen and empress of Ethiopia. An astute diplomat, she proved to be a key figure in thwarting Italian imperialist designs on Ethiopia. Historically, Ethiopian women had played many important roles in war campaigns. As well as preparing supplies (food, drinks such as tej or araki, clothes, medicine), they were also known to encourage soldiers in the midst of battle, emboldening them to achieve greater feats. As laws governing land-tenure usually required at least part-time military service in times of war, widows of male soldiers could also be called upon to perform military duties.
    Long military campaigns often entailed marches of up to 20 miles a day, particularly gruelling for pregnant women, or women recovering from childbirth, who were expected to keep pace with the rest. Women were also expected to carry heavy loads of provisions and supplies.
    In late 1895, Empress Taytu and Emperor Menelik II set out on a campaign to reverse the Italians’ steady encroachment over Ethiopian territory.
    Enjoying unprecedented unity among the ruling elite and vital popular support from the peasantry who provided food, the Ethiopian army swelled during the march, reaching up to 100,000 soldiers. The Empress rode at the head of her own army of 5,000 infantry and 600 cavalrymen.
    However, Italy (and its diaspora) nursed its scar, and with the rise of Benito Mussolini’s fascist party, sought revenge.
    Again, inspired by the memory of Taytu and the victory of Adwa, Ethiopian women rose to the challenge. Women fighters such as Lekyelesh Beyan, Kebedech Seyoum, Shewareged Gedle and Qeleme Worq Tiruneh are rightly singled out for admiration. However, many thousands of women, often forced to flee to the hills to escape Italian bombing and poison-gas campaigns, heroically participated in the resistance through underground networks, guerrilla warfare and intelligence gathering.
    The Italians were eventually defeated in 1941.

      Europeans are actually pretty late.
      Its simply not possible that the carribeans are populated by so many Afro people and south America as well through european boats. No way.
      The climate turns any skin brown after thousands of years, no light skinned human is native there. Same with australians and native arabians.
      Afro people are native in every hot climate. But Africa is our home and our beginning.

    Bup bup bup!!!! If only all of the continent of Afrika could have resisted like Ethiopia did. Looking at this video I noticed something interesting. It was because of the woman that Ethiopia was spared colonization. Most of the present day leaders of the Afrikan nations are male. What if prior to the Berlin conference of 1884 all of the Afrikan nations were lead by women (strong women at that)? I think that the continent of Afrika would be a whole lot different (for the better, that is).

    I appreciate your efforts, but as an Ethiopian, our culture does not allow such rude conversations to happen even behind closed doors. Taytu never insulted her husband in that manner, Menilik was a very intelligent and I stress on the very, and Taitu was just as equally so. He would have never agreed to such a deal and the story is a bit more complicated than this. What happened was is that the Italians purposely mistranslated the agreement when they wrote it in Italian out of contempt and disrespect to the intelligence of Ethiopians. The Amharic version says nothing similar to land grabbing being allowed.

    In the Treaty of Wuchale, under one article, the Italians wrote that Ethiopia would be a protectorate of Italy in Italian while in Amharic they wrote that Ethiopia could use Italy's channels in dealing with other European countries. They did this to trick Ethiopians into being their protectorate. But it was Empress Tayitu who found out by hiring an Italian speaker to translate the article.

      Afrocentrics have messed up your mind. Arabs have also always been there. By the 1st Century AD Arabs from the south (Yemen and Oman) also started migrating to the North. By the 4th century AD there were more Arabs in the Levant and Iraq than any other ethnicity, and there were very little non-Arabs in the Arabian peninsula. Arabs became dominant in terms of number of people in the Middle East. The religions were a mixture of Christian, Jewish, Majoosi and Pagan, or ancient Arab religions. However, I think that Christianity was the most dominant religion since the Arabs in the north (Iraq and the Levant) and in the south (Yemen) were predominantly Christian, and there were some Christian Arabs in the Arabian peninsula although the majority in the peninsula followed pagan religions. They weren’t. Aethiopia was geek term, later adopted by other peoples of the Mediterranean basin, too, that was not very specific and meant basically land of the sun-burned faces. It didn’t refer to the Middle East (that concept didn’t even exist to Greeks, they were mostly an East Mediterranean people themselves, as the original Greek civilization straddled both sides of the Aegean Sea), nor even to Egypt. It was mostly used to refer to the much hotter lands south of Upper Egypt, where the Greeks and others thought that the people had developed black faces because they had been “burned by the inclement sun” over the time. Ethiopia didn’t refer to the present borders of the country named Ethiopia, nor to any other, but to a very broad region that was not well known enough by Greeks and other Mediterranean peoples to receive several specific designations. In ancient sources, you can clearly notice that Ethiopia is used in contexts that in fact refer to the Kushites or to the Meroïtes south of Egypt, not to peoples of the Horn of Africa. There are also ancient sources that talk of invasions of Egypt from the Delta to “the border with Ethiopia”, but we all know that Egypt bordered the kingdoms of the Nubians and had as its usual southern border the 1st cataract of Aswan, so “Ethiopia” in that sense meant everything that was south of Egypt. In later times, people who lived south of the Mediterranean-centered polities of the Maghred would also occasionally be named Ethiopians, because they were darker-skinned than their northern neighbors and came from the tropical south. Another Greek-language source, making some superficial and obviously amateur observations about the Indians, claims that the North Indians *(who, in ancient Hellenistic times, was mostly the present-day territory of Pakistan) *looked quite like the Egyptians, whereas the South Indians were very dark-skinned and resembled the Ethiopians, except that they had very straight hair. That really parallels a generic comparison that could be done even today by some observers: Egyptians were to Ethiopians as the northernmost Indians were to the southernmost Indians. The fact that Egyptians and Ethiopians were used by the author as distinct points of reference indicates to us that they were not seen as part of the same group of peoples.
