Edit
By 1855, the country was called Europeans "Abyssinia" had been divided into four kingdoms, each autonomous. Gondar was surrounded by three provinces: Gojjam, Menz, and Tigre. Accusing Ras Ali II of being alienated to Muslim, Wube of Tigre roused his people against Gondar, and seized the town in 1841. Despite being excommunicated by the church, Ras Ali insisted fighting and attempted to enlist an outlaw named Kassa (future Tewodros II) to his cause. Kassa as the future Emperor of Ethiopia, considerate himself as descendant of both Solomon and Alexander the Great by responding fighting Ali. Through this time, Gondar resembled to base of operations rather than a capital, yet there was small European community with one of these was the British Consul, Charles Duncan Cameron.[9]

Starting from Battle of Ayshal in 1852, Kassa refused to order Ras Ali II, who controlled most princes and regions of northern Ethiopia, for his perennial military expedition against Gojjam. In response, Dejazmach Goshu Zewde of Gojjam, an ally of Ras Ali II, clashed with Kassa's army at the Battle of Gur Amba (27 November 1852). Ras Ali II left Gondar for Debre Tabor to call troops in rival provinces of Tigray, Wollo, Yejju. Afterward, he returned to Gondar where Kassa had occupied. In the Battle of Takusa (12 April 1853), Kassa pillaged Debre Tabor in 1852. On 29 June, Kassa proceeded destroying Ras Ali II's Oromo cavalry in one of costliest battles during the Zemene Mesafint, where Ali II died in 1856 after retreating to Yejju.[10]

There were constant rebellions against Tewodros II, notably by Amade Bashir in Wollo, Bezabeh, a Shewan local prince, declared his independence. In 1864, Tewedros violently sacked and burnt Gondar along with neighboring Dembiya in 1886, when his soldiers destroyed most churches in old capital.[11]

In 1880s, Emperor Yohannes IV moved the capital from Gondar to Mekelle and chose it as an administrative center by ordering building construction, which was completed in 1886.[12] In 1888, the Mahdist sacked the town at the Battle of Sar Weha, particularly directing their fury at the churches.[6][13]
