Bahta Hagos

Right now, I'm bogged down on Guiseppe Galliano, which I thought would be a quick and dirty on the guy the liqueur is actually named after. Turns out most (read: all) of the interesting source on the nets is in Italiano (go figure). Poor guy seems to be a competent batallion level commander led to slaughter by a overconfident, incompetent general officer and a political establishement that wanted results.

As a result of my research, I've gotten interested in Eritrean and Ethiopian history. Its very confusing, as there are a LOT of ethnic groups crammed into a pretty small geography, and their interrelationships are not readily apparent.

I've decided to rework my approach to Giuseppe Galliano. I've created way too much content about the history of the Italian colonial conflict. I'm going to break it out into various articles, then rewrite Galliano with a more strict focus. Since I'm going through the conflict chronologically, I'll start with Hagos and the Tigrians, although I really do need to go back and address the Mahdists and the Battle of Agordat.

I'm focused on the Battle of Coatit right now.
