In 1868, a British expeditionary force of 12,000 soldiers marched into the Ethiopian highlands, confronting Emperor Tewodros II at his mountain fortress of Magdala. This episode unpacks the diplomatic crisis triggered by Tewodros's imprisonment of British envoys, the Anglo-Ethiopian War that followed, and the dramatic siege that ended with the emperor's suicide and the looting of his treasury. We explore Tewodros's complex character—the modernizer who alienated his nobles, the devout Christian who demanded respect from Europe, and the tragic figure who chose death over capture. Learn about the Napier Expedition, the role of Queen Victoria's government, and how this brief but violent encounter shaped Ethiopian attitudes toward European powers. We also discuss the cultural artifacts taken from Magdala, some of which remain in British museums today, and the legacy of Tewodros's reforms in paving the way for Menelik II. A story of pride, miscalculation, and the collision of worlds. #History #FexingoHistory #Ethiopia #TewodrosII #Magdala #BritishEmpire #NapierExpedition #Siege #19thCentury #EastAfrica #Colonialism #EthiopianEmpire #QueenVictoria #RobertNapier #Maqdala #Tewabech #KassaHailu #Africa Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
