As an african american career soilder in the united states navy. I can appreciate this, and its no wonder why it is such a source of pride for the country of Ethiopia. Its only a shame that these soilders now live in poverty and dont get the historical accolades they deserve.

The first would be what you pointed out and the second case could be that the Italians could have stayed a lot longer if they captured him and make one of his rivals as a dummy King .

He went to the League of Nations (under the council of his advisers) to defend Ethiopia and to condemn Italy and all other nations that failed to uphold the charter of the League. During this condemnation, the Emperor accurately prophesied the end of the League of Nations. The Emperor also needed to be in Europe to convince the British of their imperative to help restore justice in Ethiopia and the World. This is finally what saved Ethiopia.
