Plausibility check:
Abyssinia (Ethiopia) during WWI was completely surrounded by Allied territory (mostly British and Italian, but also French Somaliland). This places it in a strategically very difficult position. Nevertheless, would it have been possible for Abyssinia to declare war on the Allies with the expectation of help from/coordination with German forces in German East Africa? How many troops and resources did Germany have in GEA that could plausibly have been spared? Could they and the Abyssinians have jointly invaded and occupied Britain's East Africa Protectorate (Kenya) for any length of time? How would it have affected the East African theater of the war, as well as overall Allied planning and operations?
