Why was Ethiopia never even conquered by the Muslims?????

For a relatively poor christian nation, it seems odd that it was never taken over by even the somalian muslims. Thoughts Sup Forums?

Kuz we were kangz 'n shiet nigguh

Ethiopia stronk. Couldn't even be conquered by the Italians. Not saying much I know

They were literally governed by Jesus Christ

They are strong at fighting civilizations that have more cities than them.

because us coptics dont give up, thats why we annex the muslim nations

Muslims never invaded any part of ssa though.

There are plenty of Christian extremists left in Africa

somali muslims are too unorganized
also ethiopia is about 50% muslim
there is also no real motive to conquer Ethiopia as it is a mountainous shithole which could only be taken in a brutal guerrilla war

Which would make them good in a game like VI, where you're encouraged to forward settle as hard as possible. In V, everyone went with like 4 cities max, except for Korea, which could just shit out Busan and call it a day.

The Ark is in Ethiopia, as well as the oldest complete Bible. Heavily guarded.

>Surrounded by mountains
>Lowland Muslims raid them anyway

halle Selassi I
got british guns
gave them to Ethiopians

>Ethiopia is 50% Muslim
No, they're 1/3rd Muslim, and that's literally because that was Somali land that they conquered.

>tfw couldn't find a bigger picture of the religion divide in Ethiopia because no one cares about niggers.

There were no cities to tax and live like kings either.

India only needed 1 city too, but the AI was retarded and would shit out as many tiny worthless ones as possible.

India was shit all around. Aztecs did their job much better, since it's easy to grow population as them.

>mentioned in bible like 40 times
>why religion that came afterwards no conquer thing in other religion mentioned beforehand?

sorry made a mistake there

They get rolled over by Egypt whenever I play them in Crusader Kings 2.

Egypt had an unfair advantage over the rest of the world that was squandered because the Pharaohs were megalomaniac retards. They had such a good early advantage and blew it all due to being highly incompetent. Any person of average intelligence could've ruled them better, and that's why the Ptolemy dynasty was the most stable and prosperous dynasty of Egypt in like 1,000 years.

>Why was Ethiopia never even conquered by the Muslims?????

There is literally NOTHING of value you there. You only conquer places that have resources that you want to exploit.

Prester John?

Ethiopia entered into a tributary treaty with the Sultans of Egypt. After the Mamlukes were overthrown, the Ottomans had no real interest in Ethiopia. Somalians have never gotten their shit together at any point in their history.

Mountainous, remote, willing to become nominal vassals, and sheltered the early Muslims when they were being persecuted by the Quraysh. Hard to declare jihad against a country that helped you as far back as the time of Mohammed. (Adal did eventually, but that was like nine centuries later and I don't know much about the circumstances at that time.)

they're being taken over by china right now though

Portugal helped eithiopia against the Turks and Somalis.

If they didn't intervene eithiopia would've been ISLAMIZED like the Christian Nubian kingdoms

Ahmed Gurey had a run

So did Siad Barre
