A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Emperor Menelik II's ambitious railway project, the Franco-Ethiopian Railway, which aimed to connect Addis Ababa to the port of Djibouti. They discuss how the railway became a symbol of Ethiopian sovereignty and modernization, its construction challenges in the rugged Ethiopian highlands, and the geopolitical rivalries between France, Britain, and Italy. The conversation also touches on the railway's economic impact, the role of foreign engineers and local labor, and how it transformed trade and travel in the Horn of Africa. Lucas explains why the railway never reached its planned terminus at the Nile, the subsequent branch lines, and the legacy of Menelik's vision for infrastructure. The episode highlights the railway as a tool of nation-building and a response to colonial pressures, offering a fresh perspective on Menelik II's reign beyond the famous Battle of Adwa.
