I just read an interesting article here (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-37428682) about Kaiser Wilhelm's effort to entice the Ethiopians to join the Germans and the Ottomans in their fight against the British, the French and the Italians. He believed that the Ethiopians would distract a lot of troops to the Horn of Africa front, would induce a rebellion in Sudan, and would be able to help the Germans and Ottomans in threatening the Suez Canal. If this effort had been succesful, what would have happened? Would it be disastrous for the Ethiopians?
