On March 25, 1889, the Shewa ruler Menelik II — having conquered Tigray and Amhara, declared himself Emperor of Ethiopia (Abyssinia in the European parlance of the time). Barely a month later, on May 2, he signed a treaty of amity with the Italians, which apparently gave them control over Eritrea, the Red Sea coast to the northeast of Ethiopia, in return for recognition of Menelik's rule. Menelik II has prolonged policy of the Tewodros II about integration of Ethiopia.

However, the bilingual Treaty of Wuchale did not say the same thing in Italian and Amharic. The former text established an Italian protectorate over Ethiopia, which Menelik discovered soon afterwards. The Amharic version, however, merely stated that Menelik could contact foreign powers and conduct foreign affairs through Italy if he so chose. Italian diplomats, however, claimed that the original Amharic text included the clause and Menelik knowingly signed a modified copy of the Treaty.

What. What. What!

Very true. The imperial era of Europe and the U.S. seems to be a bit more rife with it though.

Believe me, if you dig deep enough, the dickery proportions are equal everywhere.

Yeah, Italy was even dickish towards Abyssinia in the 30s. There was an agreement between the Italians and the Brits that they would carve the place up: 1/3rd to the Abyssinian, the other, better, 2/3rd to the Italians.

Boom. Another nail in the coffin of the League of Nations.

In other news, Ubuntu 11.10 is really good.

Dickish I'm used to, but that's... childish? I don't even know how to describe that.

[up][up][up] Look, if you're going to insult teenage pregnancy with a cake, you might as well put in enough effort to murder the girl, the father, and the baby and thus decrease the surplus population!

What? An Instance Of Rutabaga still doesn't have a trope page? But it was an amazing novel, and had some of the funniest black comedy I've ever read.

[up][up] Somebody redefined the word "confused" to mean "bisexual" instead of "perplexed/bewildered/noncomprehending", and I couldn't very well go around calling myself Aliroz The "Bisexual" now, so I had to change the name.

Also, changing my name bothered Kraken, and I like to annoy him.

[up] Then the blue texts are being eaten by lies? Boots on before truth? Lies! Darned lies? And statistics? A million deaths?

@ Amino. (That's you, ATC)

Huh. That's one of the most logical things I've heard today.
