NO EASY WALK: ETHIOPIA
Price: $310.00 Code: 1683 |
Part of the No Easy Walk series, this video begins with the Ethiopian
victory over the Italians in 1896 at the Battle of Andowa,
which confirmed Ethiopian independence to the European powers
and paved the way for Emperor Menelik's modernization program.
Haile Selassie's succession to the throne in 1930 was followed
in 1935 by Mussolini's invasion and a five-year Italian occupation.
After the war, Ethiopia led the way in the effort to decolonize
Africa, establishing the Organization for African Unity in
Addis Ababa in 1963.
