I have seen Tigrayan users using this map to justify their claim over Welkait. Yet this map is a Fake photoshopped & never existed in reality. Put that very map under image detector. This detector sees changes in pixels size and colour. It is fake!

Tigray? You do know that Yohannes was the Emperor of an Empire not a province. And I don’t know if you know it but Yohanness capital Before Mekele was in Begemder (Debre Tabor) Not to mention that Yohannes literally made Amharic the official language of his court in Mekele.

Many think that the first time when an Ethiopian force defeated an Egyptian force was in the reign of Emperor Yohannes IV in the Battle of Gundet, but that is not true. In 1837 the governor of Dembiya, Dejazmach Kinfu, Defeated a large Egyptian force who tried to invade Ethiopia.

The response of the Italians to the Amhara resistance of their occupation of Ethiopia was basically turning every ethnic group in the country against Amharas. Although the Italian occupation was short lived it side effects were long lasting and arguably Helped end the empire.

I don’t know how many people know it but Emperor Yohannes IV spent more time in Begemder/Gondar than he did in Tigray. Yohannes capital for most of his reign was in Debre Tabor, where he lived for 9 straight years. It was only in 1881 that he shifted his capital to Mekele.
