Another wonderful video. Thank you very much growing up in Jamaica Ethiopia and the Emperor was highly venerated. We have a special place in our heart while I don’t live with the money the emperor I do, however have him as one of the greatest leaders out of Africa (despite his many shortcomings).
It will forever bother me that leaders of colonial Europe failed to see the opportunity to create brotherly relations rather than domineering ones with Africa. They could have generated massively more wealth as well as assisted in the formation of new nation states that would have felt a debt to them. Instead, they plundered what they could and ran away as villians.
Europe and Ethiopia actually had great relationship for many centuries. Even Italians and Abyssinians were allies since the time of Rome and Axum. This changed in the late 19th century due factors such as the rise of whyte supremacy.
@@thanksmaybe4103 Nice fantasy. Even Eriteans that allied with Italians were treated as second-class citizens and segregated. While Ethiopian civilians fell victim to constant massacres and human right violations during the occupation.
@@thanksmaybe4103how? Nobody in Ethiopia speaks the Italian. Nobody in Ethiopia eats Italian food. Ethiopia was occupied for 5 years. The Italians didn’t control much of the country anyway, just some of the major cities not even the countryside as that was controlled by guerillas.
@@Jean_Jacques148 1. What government was creating laws 2.Italian farmers were brought over and given land 3.the country was added to a larger colony called "Africa Orientale Italiana" 4. The reason of the myth of Ethiopia is because of British propaganda and lumping it into a ww2 theatre shortly after
@@Jean_Jacques148 only because they got saved by the British and their West African colonial forces who drove the Italians out of Ethiopia in 1941 during WW2.
Ethiopia had a very well-structured system in place. Centuries old prior to colonization even being considered in Africa. Italy was not only defeated by the Ethiopians (Numerous times) in numerous battles. Ethiopia defeated each & every foreign invader (Egyptians, Turkish, Ottomans). I am proud of the sacrifice of my forefathers. Proud to Be Ethiopian 🙂
In some Chinese history textbook, we were taught that our then Qing government, its ignorance, arrogance, and corruption, were heavily to blame for Western colonizers being able to impose their unequal treaties on us, citing Ethiopia as a successful case of resistance against the colonizers - because if the Ethiopians, being geographically closer to Europe with just 110,000 soldiers could defeat western colonizers, why couldn’t we, being significantly further with practically a bottomless well of manpower, and a much more massive economy and military power, do so?
Nice. It really has to do with intelligence and will to fight. The Ethiopians were dedicated to fight and had good leadership. Sadly for you guys and the rest of Africa their leadership was corrupt and not willing to fight smart.
very nice video !! perfect african history . Ethiopia truly wasnt colonized with resistance not beaten before British , indian , southafrican forces attacked Italian positions in the cities. I heard there were Belgian congo african soldiers fighting against italians in western ethiopia. Is that true?
I have heard many modern Zambians say they had no business in WWII. It needs to remembered that the Northern Rhodesia Regiment was used by Britain to help liberate Ethiopia, and it was Ethiopia's insisted independence that inspired other African countries as well. So while the Northern Rhodesians also fought in Burma and occupied Japan, they also inadvertetly fought for African independence.
Very interesting, my great grandparents were Rhodesian , sadly they passed away without documenting any of their experiences. I'm trying to learn more about the role the country played on the international level.
@@ezekiekr8475 my mother can recall going to visit my grandparents and the would travel to Victoria falls,she said it was beautiful. My grandfather worked for IBM an would spend time in Zambia developing systems for mines. Don't get me wrong , I've spoken to my family who fought in the Rhodesian bush war and in Angolan war , Mozambique. They said it was stunning . But back on topic I'm not too well versed on the political relations at the time
@@shafsteryellowIf Ethiopia’s land is actually Somalia’s then why didn’t you fight for your land like the indigenous Ethiopians did? 🤔 Why did your ancestors allow Italy to rule them for 50 years? 🤔
The Ethiopians were one of the few Christian nations in Africa before the Europeans come to Africa, they collaborated together and colonized the whole place
Great video. Very well researched and objective video. Honestly, considering how Ethiopia still has the problems that even colonized countries here still have, despite not being colonized themselves, i think it's clear not being colonized didn't change much for them. They still have insecurity, corruption, poverty, tribalism, civil wars, and much more, sometimes worse than colonized countries like Botswana and Namibia who do better😢
What I am about to say, without understanding the historical context of how Ethiopia became what it is throughout history and what took to get them there, might come off as trying to diminish the work of Ethiopian leaders like Tewodros and Haile, which is NOT what I want to come across as, and I will explain after. A big part of why Ethiopia was also never really colonized was also due to its 'status' throughout history. Before colonialism, before triangle trade, before social darwinism and scientific racism of the 19th Century, Ethiopia was still known to Europe. It was known since classical times in fact, but very differently from other African powers. It was the apostolic kingdom, the land of Solomon, the lion of Africa, and one of the supposed origins for the "Kingdom of Prester John" myth. Where Portuguese went to Kongo as bandits, robbing them off their coastal islands and imposing their will on Angola for example, they formed an alliance with Ethiopia. Where Britain brought their maxim guns and quinine to deep Africa to manifest 'White Man's burden', a veil for their extractive colonization, they formed trade agreements with Ethiopia. Where the Europeans went on to partake in their racist pseudoscience to classify humans to 'macro races', Ethiopians were included as Caucasoids. This is, as I mentioned before, not to take away from the struggle of Ethiopians, who struggled against Caliphates, against Ottomans, and Harar, against Somali sultanates, and Egyptians Khediviates, against Italian fascists, and many more. But in the eyes of most Europeans, Ethiopians were always seen as 'different', for good or ill.
You didn't mention the Black Americans that came and trained Ethiopians and that was major reason in Ethiopia not being colonized. Also, Jamaicans scammed and pretended to be Black Americans when Ethiopia thanked us to give land.
@angrycrypto465 What on Earth are you talking about? Why would you lie? When did Black Americans ever "train" the well-trained Ethiopians in the battlefield? Do you know anything about Ethiopian History? In fact, if you read about Ras Alula Aba Nega (the Ethiopian general) his skills in the battlefield are actually taught in the U.S. Military Academy. During (The Battle of Dogali, The Battle of Adwa, The Battle of Tembian, The Battles against the Egyptians, Turkish & Ottomans & every single foreign invader). Who saved Ethiopia from colonization? Ethiopians! Why are you acting as if Italy & Ethiopia had 1 battle in WWII? lol Italy lost each & every battle against Ethiopia prior to WWII. Who were the African Americans that "saved Ethiopia from colonization"? Which general(s)? I could name over 150 Ethiopian generals who actually did. The only reason (a select few) African Americans stepped in Ethiopia's battlefield- during WWII was because Mussolini attacked Ethiopia with poisonous gas. It was a completely unfair battle. He knew this was the only hope for- 1 victory (yet they still never colonized). In addition, his grandfather was murdered at the Battle of Adwa when he was a child, this was his way of retaliation.
Because it had no wealth and was too far from the coast to justify very expensive infrastructure. Mussolini wasted billions and was never going to show a profit from it. He invaded strictly for vanity.
Thats what blows my mind as an Ethiopian. The state was poor with zero resources. Fascism's thirst for war and conquest was seemingly the only reason to invade Ethiopia. I wonder if Italy would have eventually gone bankrupt trying to hold all that land if they werent removed by the Brits?
Colonisation is a détermination that comes from the outside and of which the inside has dealt with. Thus, the history has taught that Ethiopia has managed to extract itself from the determination, a contempt called colonization.. As the present is heavy with the past, just like the future is heavy with the present, the question that is relevant is what does this past mean to Ethiopia’s present? In trying to answer this question we can observe that a few years ago Ethiopians who haven’t submitted themselves to the contempt of colonialism were busy with killing each other in a bloody civil war in the Tigray’s region, we can noticed that in the same country the ethnicity has been elevated to the rank of the essential where each ethnic or tribe, or region has its own armed militia. The Tigray’s People Liberation Front, the Omoro have their own, etc. And we can them conclude that if the Ethiopians have fought against the colonial contempt, but can’t have mercy on each other, can’t share the common blessings, can’t be each other’s keeper, etc, then the status of the only country that has escaped the madness of the colonists becomes meaningless.
ETHIOPIA is one country that still practice the religions of their forefathers and have kept GOD convenant, which they still protecting to this day. In return God has protected them & gave them resources to enrich themselves. They are chosen people.
Ethiopia was favoured by all the colonialists become it had a Jewish and Christian majority population they thought it was the Israel’s promised land and forgot to colonise them… that’s the only reason coz all other African countries were colonised coz their were no Jewsh or Christian population
Ethiopia was colonized by Italy. Ethiopia lost the war and their country. It was the other countries that fought to rid Italy from Ethiopia but it was 100% guaranteed colonized.
Im not so sure. I am highly suspicious of the profitability of holding Ethiopia for Italy and their long-term ability to finance the massive and ever inxreasing costs of running their colonies. There are basically no resources in Ethiopia other than the people and they were poor.
1. If Ethiopia was colonized, why did Italy only occupy it for 5 years, unlike India under Britain, which was colonized for centuries? 2. How was Ethiopia colonized when it defeated Italy at Adwa and stayed independent, just like European countries such as France, Poland, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, and Czechoslovakia, which were occupied during WWII but are not called colonized? 3. Does a short-term occupation, like Nazi Germany occupying France, Belgium, Norway, or Greece during WWII, mean colonization? 4. If Ethiopia was colonized, why did Emperor Haile Selassie return to power in 1941, unlike truly colonized nations where foreign powers ruled for decades?
1. If Ethiopia was colonized, why did Italy only occupy parts of the country-primarily major cities like Addis Ababa, Mekelle, Dessie, and Dire Dawa-while much of rural Ethiopia remained under local resistance? 2. How can Ethiopia be called colonized when Italy controlled only a few areas for 5 years (1936-1941), while European nations like France, Poland, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, and Czechoslovakia were fully occupied during WWII but are not considered colonized? 3. Does controlling a few cities, as Italy did in Ethiopia, compare to Nazi Germany occupying entire countries like France or Norway during WWII? Why is Ethiopia called colonized when others with similar occupations are not? 4. If Ethiopia was colonized, why did Emperor Haile Selassie return to power in 1941, and why did Italy fail to control Ethiopia's countryside, where guerrilla resistance thrived throughout the occupation?
If Italy colonized Ethiopia, why did they only build limited infrastructure, like military roads, a few bridges, and some buildings in Addis Ababa, while true colonial powers, like Britain in India or Belgium in the Congo, built extensive systems such as railways, schools, and administrative centers? Furthermore, why did Italy only offer $20 million in compensation after they were driven out, instead of investing in lasting infrastructure during their occupation? How can we compare this to Nazi Germany, which built significant infrastructure such as highways (Autobahnen), factories, and military fortifications in countries like France, Poland, and the Netherlands during WWII, yet those countries are not considered colonized?
The main reason for Ethiopia's non-colonization is the Tigray State, a northern province of Ethiopia. This powerful state called Tigray single-handedly defeated the Ottoman invasion. It has defeated the Egyptian invasion three times. It defeated the first Italian invasion at the Battle of Dogali single-handedly. It defeated the second Italian invasion together with other Ethiopians. This region was called the Axum kingdom in ancient times. It was the fourth superpower of the world, with close ties to the Roman Empire and Greece. India, Persia, Rome, Axum had ancient worlds supper power. The people of Tigray are 99.9% Orthodox Christians. The first bishop of Tigray (Axum) was Saint Athanasius the Greek. The ancestors of the people of Tigray has biologically related to Jews and Greeks. Please search about Tigray history
what do you mean by ethiopia not colonialized on the 05/05/1935 it was underfull control of itally untill italy was defeated by the british in ww2 but why was ethiopia colonialized late depends on what attraction it has to get priority

It’s a lie that Ethiopia was never colonized. Christianity is a colonial construct which is deeply seated in Ethiopia. They are colonized in their minds though no particular country colonized then.
You will never find an article, book or phrase that states "Ethiopia colonized". Never. If you are able to provide 1 article that would be great. Secondly, Ethiopia is the 2nd oldest Christian nation on this planet. Do you know anything about Ancient Ethiopian Orthodox Church? What foreign influence does the Ethiopian Bible/Church have?
@@Rekikiye Maybe I'm a little confused because I'm trying to learn myself. I've always read that the only two African countries that weren't colonized were Ethiopia and Liberia. I just recently read that Italy occupied space in Ethiopia which may be different but it doesn't sound like it. Occupying space aggressively and using gas to commit homicide also sh00ting down ambulances sounds like colonization. I've Googled and read articles other places about it.
@@aaronflowers8881 Hello Aaron. Italy and Ethiopia Has fought multiple wars for many, many years. The Battle of Adwa & WWII were most definitely not the only battle. Rome, Italy literally has an entire “Memorial Museum” dedicated to all the fallen Italian soldiers who lost their lives at the “Battle of Dogali” in Abyssinian/Ethiopia. One of those fallen soldiers, was Mussolini’s grandfather. Ethiopia has no memorial, we literally have a national memorial celebration. The Italians themselves will inform you they never succeeded in conquering Ethiopia. If you know anything about Ethiopian history, you would know Ethiopia was an extremely powerful, well structured nation for thousands of centuries. An established empire that successfully defeated the Turkish, Egyptians & Ottomans. Italy was literally a joke when it came to the battlefield for the Ethiopians.
That was just 1 war. And the reason for Black America's assistance was because Mussolini was literally using "poisonous gas". Ethiopia & Italy fought NUMEROUS battles. Do you think WW2 was just the only battle? Ethiopia is a nation that fought & defeated foreign invaders (Egyptians, Turkish, Ottomans). With only the help of Ethiopians.
@@jameswalker3380 You actually didn't explain your "fact" well- at all. I clarified it for you (in its entirety). And, why on Earth would I be upset? lol
Ethiopia was never colonized? Not true. Italy had been ruling Ethiopia from 1935-1941. Plus a big part of modern Ethiopia (Ogaden) was a Somali territory under British as recent as 1954. The territory was transferred by the British to Haile Salaise just before Somalia's independence.

Bob Marley never lost his faith in Rasta that is why his kids, they still all Rasta .. there is a lot of internet propaganda to mislead … 7. The codes and secrets to understanding Haile Selassie is God in flesh and the glory of his Kingdom in the making is written in the Gospels: Take for instance Matt 9: 27-30: As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. 29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region. So the idea that when Christ returns he has to declare that he is God in Flesh to the world is a complete fallacy.. he is known by his works… And Haile Selassie I who sit on King David throne, who call down judgment on Europe and set the captives free is known by his works … he is the reincarnation of the only perfect man to walk this earth and there is no unrighteousness is him … this is what makes him God in flesh….. is an adulterous generation that seeketh signs but only according to your faith in the word will your sight be restored.

The codes and secrets to understanding Haile Selassie is God in flesh and the glory of his Kingdom in the making is written in the Gospels: Take for instance Matt 9: 27-30: As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. 29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region. So the idea that when Christ returns he has to declare that he is God in Flesh to the world is a complete fallacy.. he is known by his works… And Haile Selassie I who sit on King David throne, who call down judgment on Europe and set the captives free is known by his works … he is the reincarnation of the only perfect man to walk this earth and there is no unrighteousness is him … this is what makes him God in flesh….. is an adulterous generation that seeketh signs but only according to your faith in the word will your sight be restored. I pray that detractors from Rastafari will get wisdom one day
Do you not know what Arabs tried to do to us? 😂 so many nations in the Middle East and even out one point there was the Arab slave trade, there was Ethiopian slaves being sold across the Red Sea to Arabia and turkey

If there's no country called Ethiopia in the horn of Africa, that region would be the most peaceful region in the continent. Since the existence of that country, there's always war in that region (currently, Ethiopia is in civil war). War against Eritrea, somalia, or sudan ....Ethiopians are great ppl, but that country is trouble maker in that region. Thank God sooner or later, Ethiopia is going to be like Yugoslavia. Hopefully, we all East African will start living peacefully after that.
Another wonderful video. Thank you very much growing up in Jamaica Ethiopia and the Emperor was highly venerated. We have a special place in our heart while I don’t live with the money the emperor I do, however have him as one of the greatest leaders out of Africa (despite his many shortcomings).
Bro had slaves and didn’t consider himself black
They worked with the colonisers. It's fake European creation
It will forever bother me that leaders of colonial Europe failed to see the opportunity to create brotherly relations rather than domineering ones with Africa. They could have generated massively more wealth as well as assisted in the formation of new nation states that would have felt a debt to them. Instead, they plundered what they could and ran away as villians.

Europe and Ethiopia actually had great relationship for many centuries. Even Italians and Abyssinians were allies since the time of Rome and Axum. This changed in the late 19th century due factors such as the rise of whyte supremacy.

Thanks for sharing this great information
Ethiopia had a very well-structured system in place. Centuries old prior to colonization even being considered in Africa.
Italy was not only defeated by the Ethiopians (Numerous times) in numerous battles.
Ethiopia defeated each & every foreign invader (Egyptians, Turkish, Ottomans).
I am proud of the sacrifice of my forefathers. Proud to Be Ethiopian 🙂
I LOVE Ethiopia and respect it and its many peoples immensely
A great video and a great channel this is a promise of a country that do not want to be colonized and resistn back twice and succeeded.
In some Chinese history textbook, we were taught that our then Qing government, its ignorance, arrogance, and corruption, were heavily to blame for Western colonizers being able to impose their unequal treaties on us, citing Ethiopia as a successful case of resistance against the colonizers - because if the Ethiopians, being geographically closer to Europe with just 110,000 soldiers could defeat western colonizers, why couldn’t we, being significantly further with practically a bottomless well of manpower, and a much more massive economy and military power, do so?
Nice. It really has to do with intelligence and will to fight. The Ethiopians were dedicated to fight and had good leadership. Sadly for you guys and the rest of Africa their leadership was corrupt and not willing to fight smart.
Excellent!
Could you make a video about the attempted coup in the DRC?
very nice video !! perfect african history . Ethiopia truly wasnt colonized with resistance not beaten before British , indian , southafrican forces attacked Italian positions in the cities.
I heard there were Belgian congo african soldiers fighting against italians in western ethiopia. Is that true?
I have heard many modern Zambians say they had no business in WWII. It needs to remembered that the Northern Rhodesia Regiment was used by Britain to help liberate Ethiopia, and it was Ethiopia's insisted independence that inspired other African countries as well. So while the Northern Rhodesians also fought in Burma and occupied Japan, they also inadvertetly fought for African independence.
Very interesting, my great grandparents were Rhodesian , sadly they passed away without documenting any of their experiences.

Great video. Very well researched and objective video. Honestly, considering how Ethiopia still has the problems that even colonized countries here still have, despite not being colonized themselves, i think it's clear not being colonized didn't change much for them. They still have insecurity, corruption, poverty, tribalism, civil wars, and much more, sometimes worse than colonized countries like Botswana and Namibia who do better😢
The issue is as always poor leadership.
@@JustinOlpompa well said
Despite their differences ethiopians firmly stood against colonial powers .what makes d/t is they all are ready to die for their indipendence.
What I am about to say, without understanding the historical context of how Ethiopia became what it is throughout history and what took to get them there, might come off as trying to diminish the work of Ethiopian leaders like Tewodros and Haile, which is NOT what I want to come across as, and I will explain after.
A big part of why Ethiopia was also never really colonized was also due to its 'status' throughout history. Before colonialism, before triangle trade, before social darwinism and scientific racism of the 19th Century, Ethiopia was still known to Europe. It was known since classical times in fact, but very differently from other African powers. It was the apostolic kingdom, the land of Solomon, the lion of Africa, and one of the supposed origins for the "Kingdom of Prester John" myth. Where Portuguese went to Kongo as bandits, robbing them off their coastal islands and imposing their will on Angola for example, they formed an alliance with Ethiopia. Where Britain brought their maxim guns and quinine to deep Africa to manifest 'White Man's burden', a veil for their extractive colonization, they formed trade agreements with Ethiopia. Where the Europeans went on to partake in their racist pseudoscience to classify humans to 'macro races', Ethiopians were included as Caucasoids.
This is, as I mentioned before, not to take away from the struggle of Ethiopians, who struggled against Caliphates, against Ottomans, and Harar, against Somali sultanates, and Egyptians Khediviates, against Italian fascists, and many more. But in the eyes of most Europeans, Ethiopians were always seen as 'different', for good or ill.
Caucasoids? Caucasians, Asians and Native Americans came once out of this place, called Ethiopia.
You didn't mention the Black Americans that came and trained Ethiopians and that was major reason in Ethiopia not being colonized.
Also, Jamaicans scammed and pretended to be Black Americans when Ethiopia thanked us to give land.
@angrycrypto465
What on Earth are you talking about? Why would you lie?
When did Black Americans ever "train" the well-trained Ethiopians in the battlefield? Do you know anything about Ethiopian History? In fact, if you read about Ras Alula Aba Nega (the Ethiopian general) his skills in the battlefield are actually taught in the U.S. Military Academy.
During (The Battle of Dogali, The Battle of Adwa, The Battle of Tembian, The Battles against the Egyptians, Turkish & Ottomans & every single foreign invader). Who saved Ethiopia from colonization? Ethiopians!
Why are you acting as if Italy & Ethiopia had 1 battle in WWII? lol Italy lost each & every battle against Ethiopia prior to WWII. Who were the African Americans that "saved Ethiopia from colonization"? Which general(s)? I could name over 150 Ethiopian generals who actually did.
The only reason (a select few) African Americans stepped in Ethiopia's battlefield- during WWII was because Mussolini attacked Ethiopia with poisonous gas. It was a completely unfair battle. He knew this was the only hope for- 1 victory (yet they still never colonized). In addition, his grandfather was murdered at the Battle of Adwa when he was a child, this was his way of retaliation.
Wrong!
Thats wrong no foreigner participated in the first war.
Ethiopia is the promised land even God love Ethiopia more than Israel
Long live the Emperor!
Last man standing
🇪🇹🇪🇹🗿🗿🗿
Because it had no wealth and was too far from the coast to justify very expensive infrastructure. Mussolini wasted billions and was never going to show a profit from it. He invaded strictly for vanity.
Thats what blows my mind as an Ethiopian. The state was poor with zero resources. Fascism's thirst for war and conquest was seemingly the only reason to invade Ethiopia. I wonder if Italy would have eventually gone bankrupt trying to hold all that land if they werent removed by the Brits?
Colonisation is a détermination that comes from the outside and of which the inside has dealt with. Thus, the history has taught that Ethiopia has managed to extract itself from the determination, a contempt called colonization..
As the present is heavy with the past, just like the future is heavy with the present, the question that is relevant is what does this past mean to Ethiopia’s present?
In trying to answer this question we can observe that a few years ago Ethiopians who haven’t submitted themselves to the contempt of colonialism were busy with killing each other in a bloody civil war in the Tigray’s region, we can noticed that in the same country the ethnicity has been elevated to the rank of the essential where each ethnic or tribe, or region has its own armed militia. The Tigray’s People Liberation Front, the Omoro have their own, etc. And we can them conclude that if the Ethiopians have fought against the colonial contempt, but can’t have mercy on each other, can’t share the common blessings, can’t be each other’s keeper, etc, then the status of the only country that has escaped the madness of the colonists becomes meaningless.
If other African leaders where like this ,,,Africa would be the best
ETHIOPIA is one country that still practice the religions of their forefathers and have kept GOD convenant, which they still protecting to this day. In return God has protected them & gave them resources to enrich themselves. They are chosen people.
Ethiopia was favoured by all the colonialists become it had a Jewish and Christian majority population they thought it was the Israel’s promised land and forgot to colonise them… that’s the only reason coz all other African countries were colonised coz their were no Jewsh or Christian population
Ethiopia was colonized by Italy. Ethiopia lost the war and their country. It was the other countries that fought to rid Italy from Ethiopia but it was 100% guaranteed colonized.
Im not so sure. I am highly suspicious of the profitability of holding Ethiopia for Italy and their long-term ability to finance the massive and ever inxreasing costs of running their colonies. There are basically no resources in Ethiopia other than the people and they were poor.
They never surrundered, and it cant be defined as colonization, the reason other countries joing the war is coz italy used illegal chemical bombs
1. If Ethiopia was colonized, why did Italy only occupy it for 5 years, unlike India under Britain, which was colonized for centuries?

How can we compare this to Nazi Germany, which built significant infrastructure such as highways (Autobahnen), factories, and military fortifications in countries like France, Poland, and the Netherlands during WWII, yet those countries are not considered colonized?
The main reason for Ethiopia's non-colonization is the Tigray State, a northern province of Ethiopia. This powerful state called Tigray single-handedly defeated the Ottoman invasion. It has defeated the Egyptian invasion three times. It defeated the first Italian invasion at the Battle of Dogali single-handedly. It defeated the second Italian invasion together with other Ethiopians. This region was called the Axum kingdom in ancient times. It was the fourth superpower of the world, with close ties to the Roman Empire and Greece. India, Persia, Rome, Axum had ancient worlds supper power. The people of Tigray are 99.9% Orthodox Christians. The first bishop of Tigray (Axum) was Saint Athanasius the Greek. The ancestors of the people of Tigray has biologically related to Jews and Greeks. Please search about Tigray history

Aaron. Italy and Ethiopia
Has fought multiple wars for many, many years.
The Battle of Adwa & WWII were most definitely not the only battle. Rome, Italy literally has an entire “Memorial Museum” dedicated to all the fallen Italian soldiers who lost their lives at the “Battle of Dogali” in Abyssinian/Ethiopia. One of those fallen soldiers, was Mussolini’s grandfather.
Ethiopia has no memorial, we literally have a national memorial celebration. The Italians themselves will inform you they never succeeded in conquering Ethiopia.

"Peace, universally heralded by the angels at the birth of the Saviour, has become even more necessary to mankind THAN EVER BEFORE. The alternatives confronting Governments of today are no longer peace or war, but peace or the annihilation and complete doom of mankind"

Post script
1. Haile Selassie never denied being Christ and fully endorsed the Rastafari Movement when he visited Jamaica in 1966. All who have eyes to see let them see:
This is the actual quote from Haile Selassie when asked if he was the returned Christ -
" I have heard of the idea ( him being christ). I have spoken to Rastafari. I told them clearly that I am a man, a mortal and I will be replaced by the oncoming generations and they should never make the mistake in assuming or pretending that the Human being is emanated from the Deity"
WHAT PART OF THAT STATEMENT DOES HE DENY BEING CHRIST .. WHEN Christ was a man, a mortal and was replaced by the oncoming generations
the mistake is in assuming or pretending, We Rastas live by faith in the word that God's promise to David was never broken.... and the Human being does not emanate from the deity ... the deity emanates from the Human being ... whether it be God or Devil ... the flesh is just a vessel
THE STATEMENT IS JUST A PARABLE CONFIRMING HIS DIVINITY- Luke 8:9-10
Then his disciples asked him what this parable meant. He said, “to you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to others I speak in Parables so that Looking they may not perceive and listening they may not understand” Luke 8:9-10
2. IN 1966, Haile Selassie came to Jamaica to specifically endorse Rastafari movement. He crown the Rasta elders with 12 golden medallions (watch the video of his visit to Jamaica and tell me if I’m lying) the modern day 12 disciples
3. Haile selassie descendants also fully endorse Rastafari . Prince Ermias interview in italy he said Haile Selassie trip to Jamaica was his most important trip to a foreign country out of all.
4. Haile Selassie sent the Orthodox church to Jamaica so that the Orthodox church could receive the revelation from Rasta fulfilling the words of christ “A prophet is never honoured in his own land”
5. Other than coming to Caribbean and travelling all over Africa, He gather the 12 tribes of Israel from other places such as in India where he spend three weeks visiting Kerala, New Dehli, Culcutta - where you find the descedants of Indians jews
6. Rasta like Bob Marley get Baptized in the orthodox church all the time. It does not mean they are no longer Rasta. Bob Marley never lost his faith in Rasta that is why his kids, they still all Rasta .. there is a lot of internet propaganda to mislead …
7. The codes and secrets to understanding Haile Selassie is God in flesh and the glory of his Kingdom in the making is written in the Gospels:
Take for instance Matt 9: 27-30:
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
“Yes, Lord,” they replied.
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.
So the idea that when Christ returns he has to declare that he is God in Flesh to the world is a complete fallacy.. he is known by his works… And Haile Selassie I who sit on King David throne, who call down judgment on Europe and set the captives free is known by his works … he is the reincarnation of the only perfect man to walk this earth and there is no unrighteousness is him … this is what makes him God in flesh…..
is an adulterous generation that seeketh signs but only according to your faith in the word will your sight be restored.
I pray that detractors from Rastafari will get wisdom one day
@@billyyank5807 1. Haile selassie said "Africa's Armageddon has passed. We have emerged from this dark passage" ..
How can he know Africa's armageddon has passed? ....because he is God in flesh.
2. Haile Selassie went to Europe and uttered the prophetic warning:
"it is us today, it is you tomorrow " he also said "the match that you light in Africa will burn in Europe",....and world war 2 fall down on Europe thereafter European empires had to release their colonies...
tell me which prophet make nation rise against nation, causing war on a world-wide scale, the likes of which humanity have never seen??? ... only Christ in his Kingly Character.
3. When fighting the Roman Empire ... He said "come let us unite with our allies to fight AGAINST THE godless and cruel dragon that has recently arisen and is oppressing mankind" .. who is the King to fight the dragon in the Book of revelation??? ............only Christ in his kingly character.
4. After HE defeated the Romans and he regained his throne, HE made this statement in his victory speech:
"on this day which neither men of earth or angels in heaven could have known or foreseen, I give thanks, unutterable by the mouth of man, to the living God who has enabled to be present with you today"
How can Haile Selassie know what the angels in Heaven could not foresee??? ........ because he is God in flesh
He reveal that the day christ spoke about in the Mathew 13:32 -1334
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
5: After regaining his throne in 1941, he made this statement for the world.
I am glad that you are here to record this picture of me in my palace garden in Addis Abbas. People who see this throughout the world will realize that, even in the 20th century, with faith, courage and a just cause, David will still beat Goliath..
thereby revealing to the world that he is the true root of David
The fact that he is the Root of David is confirmed in his Throne Proclamation of 1930:
"I, being on the seat of David, will, by God's Charity, watch over you. Trade trade, farmer plough. I will govern you by the law and ordinances handed down to by my fathers"
6. Preface to autobiography Volume 2
" After we defeated Rome, we encountered intricate problems with the British authorities in East Africa. However without losing hope and patience.. and placing our confidence in God and his fair judgment, we emerged victorious. Even so, our conscience was never diverted by glorification and hypocrisy from believing that this victory was God's provision.
To recapitulate ..at the Geneva Assembly we reminded nations of the world "that if Europe considered the matter as if it were over, it has to take into account the fate that awaits itself" , many people saw our words as a trivial matter. Nevertheless when the righteous judge stood up to dispense Justice. each government regretted the result that befell it. The world also witnessed the limits of the power of all aggressors"
Haile Selassie I
He make the world witness the limits of power of all aggressors.... thereby revealing to the world that he is the one and only Conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah .. the protector of the oppressed and the least of humanity...
7. BOOK 1:11 AND 3:22 OF REVELATION - THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVEN 7 CANDLESTICKS AND THE 7 CHURCHES OF ASIA:
HAILE SELASSIE I SUMMONED THE HOLY FATHERS TO THE first ever ORIENTAL ORTHODOX CHURCH CONFERENCE OF 1965 i.e. HE NAMED THEM THE CHURCHES OF ASIA AND -HE REFERRED TO THE HOLY FATHERS AS "THE SPIRITUAL DESCENDANTS OF THE APOSTLES" AND HE WARNED THEM:
"The human race is MORE THAN EVER IN NEED OF PRAYERS AND SUPPORT OF THE CHURCH .
So according to the Book of Revelation he must be the Judge of the living and the Dead - God Almighty
8. He told the World council of churches:
"Realizing that the TIME HAS COME for the Church of Christ, divided for many centuries up till now, to come together in unity and work together,
9. He told the World Evangelical Council in Berlin:
"As the unity of the Church is of great concern to Us and, God willing, being hopeful that this sacred objective might be achieved in our day and age, We were happy to have convened two years ago a meeting of the Heads of the Oriental Orthodox Churches in Our Capital City of Addis Ababa to deliberate on ways and means of bringing about harmony and unity in the Church.
We refer to all these only to indicate that THIS AGE ABOVE ALL AGES is a period in history when it should be our prime duty to preach the Gospel of Grace to all our fellow men and women."
10. He told the ALL-Africa Lutheran Conference
"Peace, universally heralded by the angels at the birth of the Saviour, has become even more necessary to mankind THAN EVER BEFORE. The alternatives confronting Governments of today are no longer peace or war, but peace or the annihilation and complete doom of mankind"
the last 5 points are warnings to the world, that our judgment is at hand...i beseech you to take heed of my message and spread it to many as possible
Post script
1. Haile Selassie never denied being Christ and fully endorsed the Rastafari Movement when he visited Jamaica in 1966. All who have eyes to see let them see:
This is the actual quote from Haile Selassie when asked if he was the returned Christ -
" I have heard of the idea ( him being christ). I have spoken to Rastafari. I told them clearly that I am a man, a mortal and I will be replaced by the oncoming generations and they should never make the mistake in assuming or pretending that the Human being is emanated from the Deity"
WHAT PART OF THAT STATEMENT DOES HE DENY BEING CHRIST .. WHEN Christ was a man, a mortal and was replaced by the oncoming generations
the mistake is in assuming or pretending, We Rastas live by faith in the word that God's promise to David was never broken.... and the Human being does not emanate from the deity ... the deity emanates from the Human being ... whether it be God or Devil ... the flesh is just a vessel
THE STATEMENT IS JUST A PARABLE CONFIRMING HIS DIVINITY- Luke 8:9-10
Then his disciples asked him what this parable meant. He said, “to you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to others I speak in Parables so that Looking they may not perceive and listening they may not understand” Luke 8:9-10
2. IN 1966, Haile Selassie came to Jamaica to specifically endorse Rastafari movement. He crown the Rasta elders with 12 golden medallions (watch the video of his visit to Jamaica and tell me if I’m lying) the modern day 12 disciples
3. Haile selassie descendants also fully endorse Rastafari . Prince Ermias interview in italy he said Haile Selassie trip to Jamaica was his most important trip to a foreign country out of all.
4. Haile Selassie sent the Orthodox church to Jamaica so that the Orthodox church could receive the revelation from Rasta fulfilling the words of christ “A prophet is never honoured in his own land”
5. Other than coming to Caribbean and travelling all over Africa, He gather the 12 tribes of Israel from other places such as in India where he spend three weeks visiting Kerala, New Dehli, Culcutta - where you find the descedants of Indians jews
6. Rasta like Bob Marley get Baptized in the orthodox church all the time. It does not mean they are no longer Rasta. Bob Marley never lost his faith in Rasta that is why his kids, they still all Rasta .. there is a lot of internet propaganda to mislead …
7. The codes and secrets to understanding Haile Selassie is God in flesh and the glory of his Kingdom in the making is written in the Gospels:
Take for instance Matt 9: 27-30:
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
“Yes, Lord,” they replied.
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.
So the idea that when Christ returns he has to declare that he is God in Flesh to the world is a complete fallacy.. he is known by his works… And Haile Selassie I who sit on King David throne, who call down judgment on Europe and set the captives free is known by his works … he is the reincarnation of the only perfect man to walk this earth and there is no unrighteousness is him … this is what makes him God in flesh…..
is an adulterous generation that seeketh signs but only according to your faith in the word will your sight be restored.
I pray that detractors from Rastafari will get wisdom one day
Ethiopia was a colonizer itself
Do you not know what Arabs tried to do to us? 😂 so many nations in the Middle East and even out one point there was the Arab slave trade, there was Ethiopian slaves being sold across the Red Sea to Arabia and turkey
@@Kenny-vn1ep I only know what Amhara did to us.
Never heard of that propaganda even tho I don't like Ethiopia🤣
@@Kenny-vn1epsabean colonized ethiopia
😂😂with British support they defeated Italy,oh you think battles are free
More like charity than support.
For Ethiopia Victory great reason was Oromo generals and horses
Out of 12 generals 9 was Oromo heros.
Respect to my oromo brothers from Tigray. Ethiopia would be much smaller and weaker without the Oromo people
why is every ethiopians making it about only their Ethnic group, stop it
Islam succeeded.
How? 😂 Ethiopia is literally the 2nd oldest Christian nation on Earth 🌍
Ethiopia was colonized by the Italians for a short time of period. Stop the lies
That was occupation, not colonization. You need to be educated actually
It was Occupation my frie d that's different yo colonisation
@@Oopsiessss-e6tCan you explain the difference?
@@Time12345AWhat's the difference?
@@aaronflowers8881 a simple Google search will ensure you know the difference...
Ethiopia was the first to be colonized by christianity and islam if you don't believe religion is a colonial endeavor
Wrong, we warmly welcomed and accepted religions.
@@FutureTechnology-zi5hk what was your religion before you adopted abrahamic religions assuming you identify as African
@frayserken I am Ethiopian, I have been a Christian my entire life.
put the crap aside and learn history don't assume that you know everything... We even welcomed them with a warm heart but they got out of line... I don't think you know anything about religion,we accepted it.
@@frayserken God is not limited by borders, we do not worship a God limited by human cultures but rather a God who created each one of us. Limiting God is foolish
If there's no country called Ethiopia in the horn of Africa, that region would be the most peaceful region in the continent. Since the existence of that country, there's always war in that region (currently, Ethiopia is in civil war). War against Eritrea, somalia, or sudan ....Ethiopians are great ppl, but that country is trouble maker in that region. Thank God sooner or later, Ethiopia is going to be like Yugoslavia. Hopefully, we all East African will start living peacefully after that.
This shit is a lie
