Everything, of course, is a matter of perspective. To me, for example, Italy's greatest shame is Francesco (thanks for filming the scenes in Milan, buddy).
It took a lot of work salvaging this episode from the lost footage, so a huge thank you to Kata for all her effort. Unfortunately the season in Ethiopia/Somaliland was a true challenge, and there was nothing we could really do about it. Sorry! Can't win 'em all!

What nobody or few knows is that Italy lost the first Ethiopian war due Britain, that in the shadows had some colonialistic interest in Ethiopia too and made a strong obstruction upon the logistic supply chain of the Italian army (where all the supply and weapons should have passed trough Suez pass, but they never did, blocked by British that was controlling the pass).

Who most wanted the unity of Italy and worked in an occult way so that it could happen through Freemasonry was the English Empire. They did so with the intention of creating a country strong enough to balance the excessive economic and military power of France and Prussia on the continent. Freemasonry in Italy has always played a primary role in the formation of Italian military cadres. A strong country, but militarily vulnerable and manipulable when needed. Here is explained in simple words the vulnerability of Italy in this respect. Shitty generals chosen by a foreign power; at most idiots like Graziani who rose to prominence because they were loyal to the regime. However, the architect of the defeat was the gen. Baratieri. The beauty is that the tradition; with rare exceptions it still continues now.
@ezioauditore1522
@ezioauditore1522 2 года назад
Chi volle maggiormente l'unità dell'Italia e lavorò in modo occulto perché tramite la massoneria avvenisse fu l'impero inglese. Lo fecero con l'intenzione di creare un paese sufficientemente forte affinché bilanciasse lo strapotere sia economico che militare nel continente da parte di Francia e Prussia. La massoneria in Italia ha sempre avuto un ruolo primario nella formazione dei quadri militari italiani. Un paese forte, ma militarmente vulnerabile e manipolabile alla bisogna. Ecco spiegata in parole semplici la vulnerabilità dell'Italia sotto questo aspetto. Generali di merda scelti da una potenza straniera; al massimo degli idioti come Graziani saliti alla ribalta perché fedeli al regime. Comunque l'artefice della sconfitta fu il gen. Baratieri. Il bello è che la tradizione; salvo rare eccezioni continua ancora adesso.

A remnant of Italy was still in Tripoli, Libya when I was there, 1955-57. They were the civilians who came to settle the land by farming and business. You bring another interesting story about countries, cultures, and peoples who have to deal with the advance of foreign powers, who turn almost everything upside down.

Great as always! This has been a great season so far. I've noticed one little quirk. You've leaned really heavily on the "I'm not going to talk about about X, I'm going to talk about Y" segue, which seems like a completely unnecessary disclaimer most of the time. This kind of stands out as a weak point because of how strong your scripting is in general.

"Ethiopia" or what was called "Abyssinia" at the time, was literally carved out by the Italians as their protectorate. The nation is pretty much a 600 mile circle centered in Finfinne (Addis Ababa), incorporating random lands and people left over by the british and french partitions. The city of Aksum was part of Italian Eritrea, but it was ceded to Menelik when he rebelled and defeated his Italian overlords by capturing Adwa in 1896.

When stationed in Asmara Eritrea then federated with Ethiopia visited Axum (Aksum). From The Church of Maryland of Zion to the Treasury where it is reported the Ark of the Covenant is watched over Axum was an incredible experience. 4th USASA Field Station AKA Kagnew Station. The people were incredible and practice “hospitality” to strangers. What an experience for a 18 yo in 1963. Left out the park where the Stela are located at the Baths of Sheba!

The castration part has no evidence. In fact the Ethiopians were very good hosts to their Italian POW's (for as much was possible). Their king at the time wasn't an idiot, he knew the war was not popular in Italy, he also knew more about European politics than the Italians arrogantly expected (due to French and Russian advisors on the matter of European politics and the Russians supporting a fellow Orthodox Christian Nation). Especially in the opposition in Italy, he wanted to stress that he blamed the current ruler not the Italian people. Last thing he wanted was to sour things up completely and have an even bigger invasion force of both Italians and British on their hands (whom supported the Italians). Best to kick their arses and be a magnanimous and graceful winner, than to rub it in and end up with more crap afterwards. The man was a lot smarter than given credit for in most western regaling of the first war you've mentioned, and the castration part was probably more what people saw that happened to the Ascari People, whom were brutally tortured maimed/etc. That was a true crime, and one that should have been mentioned. Sorry, not trying to be a know it all, but I do think it should be mentioned how the Ethiopian king was a better leader than even you describe :).

Just look at Britain - when Queen Elizabeth was in India 10 years ago and was asked what she thinks about an incident of a few hundred protesters being shot in the 1940' she actually replied: "When the English were everything was great". Is it really so bad if everyone apologizes to everyone? Why can't governments be grown up
