Assignment #2

FINALLY found something to edit!!! I actually came across this information unintentionally and added it to the wiki site. It's in regards to my country's (Eritrea) history and Ethiopia.

There seems to be two interpretations to a treaty Emperor Menelik II signed; which of course began the break down with the Ethiopian empire and eventually caused my country to fight for its independents.

Here's what I added:

"Thus, Menelik signed the Treaty of Wuchale with the Italians on May 2, 1889. Controversy soon emerged on the interpretation of article 17 of the treaty. While the Amharic text reads that Menelk could, if he wished, call upon the services of the Italian authorities in his communications with other powers, the Italian version made this obligatory, there by making Eritrea in effect a protectorate of italy."
