Italian Imperialism in Its Ethiopian Context
The history of Italian imperialism in the nineteenth century has generally been highlighted by reference to the Treaty of Uccialli in 1889 and the Battle of Adowa in 1896. That treaty is widely supposed to have been the basis for the extension of an Italian protectorate over Ethiopia, thus marking the creation of an, instant empire in East Africa.

The Itinerary of Benjamin of Tudela: A Twelfth-Century Jewish Description of North-East Africa
The travel literature of medieval Jewry may yield new information about the African past. The Itinerary of Benjamin of Tudela, a case in point, throws light on the little-known eastern Sudan of the twelfth century. From the Itinerary may be reconstructed trade routes south from Alexandria to Christian Nubia, east from the Upper Nile Valley to southern Arabia and India, and west to the Fezzān and, ultimately, to the western Sudanic States. Commodi…
The ‘Mad Mullah’ and Northern Somalia
In the first two decades of the twentieth century the affairs of northern Somalia were dominated by the politico-religious movement led by Muhammad Abdullah Hassan. The ‘Mad Mullah’, as he was styled by the British, proved to be an elusive adversary and at one time forced the British to evacuate their Somaliland Protectorate. The Italians too were concerned about the Mullah's dervishes, who disturbed the peace of Italy's two nominal protectorates…

In two s…

Italy and Africa: Colonial ambitions in the First World War
In accordance with the secret Treaty of London of 26 April 1915, Italy entered the First World War in exchange for certain promises made to her by Great Britain and France. The treaty provided for concessions to Italy in Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia Minor, and Africa, but the concessions to which Great Britain and France agreed were not regarded by the Italians as the limit of their demands
