>be Tewodros II, Emperor of Abyssinia>only Christian state surrounded by Ottoman vassals>write to Christian Europe monarchies proposing an alliance>they ignore you>kidnap all Europeans in your territory as hostages to get their attention>England invades and destroys your palace>commit suicideWho was in the wrong here?
>>18003420England for betraying their Christian brothers for Mohammedans
>>18003420typical english scum
>>18003420Tewodros II was in the wrong and got what he deserved. You don’t get to take European hostages because Europeans ignored you. Access to European attention and superiority in warfare isn’t a human right, m’kay.
>>18003420England as always.
>>18003544>Access to European attention and superiority in warfare isn’t a human right, m’kay.Tell that to my giant cannon I forced German hostages to build, cracker
>>18003556>Tell that to my giant cannon I forced German hostages to build, cra—*BANG*>destroys your “palace” and drives your “emperor” to suicideUh huh
>>18003573>proceeds to get billions of unwated african refugees Fuck, how did this happen? Surely nothing (besides killing the Jews) could've prevented this travesty!
>>18003578There arent any ethiopian refugees as a result of him dying what are you even talking about?
>>18003420The problem was that he as some random king thought he was worthy and deserving of talking to queen victoria herself and then got pissed he got ignored.
>>18003573>“palace”One of the most impressive fortresses ever constructed by all accounts
they were not real Christians, many of their practices were pagan. Basically ogaa booga africans.
>>18003420The west was at that point already secular (atleast government wise)
>>18004067Ethiopians were Christians before whitoids.
>>18004058Is there a picture or a sketch of this impressive fortress?
>>18004699Nothing much, just a castle the size of an entire city built on top of a mesa with a vertical drop on all sides making it utterly impregnable before the invention of artillery
Ethiopians and Armenians are the only true Christians. Everyone else is LARPing.
>>18004067Wrong. The opposite is true kek. Europeans burning one another alive for "heresy">>18003610Fuck the queen
>>18004713>Nothing much, just a castle the size of an entire city So no different than any other large city?>built on top of a mesa with a vertical drop on all sides making it utterly impregnable before the invention of artilleryLaughs in RomanNo but seriously, that's a vague description for "the most impressive fortress ever constructed." Hell most bastion fortresses were built around actual cities and were borderline impregnable even after the invention of artillery.
>>18003442>>18003471>>18004718Muh true christians muh christian brotherhood.Cry about it fags
>>18003420The Ottomans at that point had other problems than fucking Ethopia and this jihad shit wasnt a thing after Tanzimat anyway. Just a pointless chimp out.
