Amhara victory is Feretete wede Enatu bet???
Amhara Wag Shum Gobeze assembled 60K soldiers vs. Tigray King of kings Yohannes assembled 12K soldiers, the war concluded within 40 minutes to one hour as Tigray King of kings won the war. You know it one Tigrayan to five Amhara and Tigray is the victor always. Today it is one Tigrayan for 15 Amharu still Amhara never had one victory from all battle engagements.
Ayte halafi,
At school, I learned or better put forced to learn your history.
According to contemporary historians (ethios and europeans) wag shum gobeze who was crowned as atse tekelgiorgis after the death of tedros 2 in 1868, fought in adwa against kahsay mircha aka atse yohannes in 1871 to safeguard his power. Yohannes was well prepared for the battle. He did have 12 best cannons and ammos which were supplied to him by lord napier upon his return from the mekdella expedition after the death of tedros. Not only weapons, he was supported by white military experts among them 4 US civil war veterans. Call them mercenaries.
Hence, no wonder here, he won. FYI, the wife of atse teklegiorigis was the sister of atse yohannes. upon hearing that her husband died, she yelled:
Gedayu wendime.... Tegedayu balebete. Some historians dispute such leQso.
