Ras Alula: The Battle of Dogali -1887

*For some reason, I erroneously call Haggai Erlich 'Haggai Elrich' in this video. Should not be a problem in the future.

The 1880s were a difficult decade for Ethiopia's northern-most nobles. The rate of political change continuously accelerated, and among those changes was the arrival of one of Ethiopia's most dangerous enemies: Italy. According to some historians, the first battle of the Italo-Ethiopian war is about to be fought.
