In 1862, King Theodore II of Abyssinia made a request to the British for munitions and military experts.
Sir Robert Napier was duly appointed as the Commander of the operation and he set about organising an effective force that could land in Abyssinia, march deep into the interior of the continent, keep supply lines open and fight and win a battle at the mountain fortress of Magdala.
Time was indeed of the essence as the whole expedition had to have been victorious by June in order to miss the torrential summer rains that would have put an end to any kind of campaigning.
The principal rivers of Abyssinia are tributaries of the Nile.
Abyssinia is one of the most ancient monarchies in the world, and has been governed from time immemorial by an emperor.
Abyssinia proper comprises only the mountainous portion of this territory, the low lying portion being inhabited by distinct and hostile tribes, and claimed by the Viceory of Egypt as part of his dominions.
