    The coffee drunk today originated in the empire of Abyssinia, which we today call Ethiopia. However, as the Abyssinian Empire thrived, it was only time before imperialism caught wind of the “exotic” products of Ethiopia. Coffee was, and still is Ethiopia’s dominant export, the importance of coffee can be summated by Fernando Vega, “From its humble origins in Africa, coffee has become the second most heavily traded commodity in the world, after petroleum products, with an estimated retail value that exceeds $70 billion. Coffee is planted in more than 10 million hectares spread over 50-plus countries, where more than 100 million people depend on it for their livelihoods.”(Vega) Abyssinia thrived from the 12th century until the Gondar Period. The Gondar period was Ethiopia’s last stand as a powerful, independent nation. The Gondar monarchy built palaces, churches, and established trade with muslim merchants (Pankhurst, R, 1998, 109-117). By 1630 the Ethiopian capital of Gondar became an epicenter for art and culture, catapulting Ethiopian culture across the Red sea and into the Middle East (Pankhurst, R, 1998, 109). While Abyssinia grew in power, the “exotic” products, such as coffee, exported began to gain popularity in Europe. As coffee houses grew in number, the marking of Ethiopia’s demise began. Just prior to the 18th century the Gondar monarchy fell to Ras Mikael Sehul of Tigray, while more emperors were appointed Abyssinia entered…

    Brief History of Ethiopia

    • 2019 Words
    • 9 Pages

    “Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.” -Haile Selassie The name "Ethiopia" derives from the Greek word ethio, meaning "burned" and pia, meaning "face": the land of burned-faced peoples or in some points also means “something divided”. Ethiopia also known as (Abyssinia) is the tenth largest country in Africa, covering 439,580 square miles almost twice the size of Texas. Addis Ababa is the third-highest capital city in the world. The country boasts a massive population as one of the densest landlocked countries in the world with roughly 93 million inhabitants and a poverty line of 64%. Life expectancy at birth is 53 years old for males and 58 years old for females. Exports are gold, platinum, copper, livestock, sugarcane, leather products, oilseeds and the cultivation of coffee. Coffee is a staple of Ethiopia culture and its no wonder why Ethiopia is the biggest producer of coffee in the world. It is also the major constituent of the landmass known as the Horn of Africa. It is bordered on the north and northeast by Eritrea (which use to be part of northern Ethiopia), on the east by Djibouti and Somalia, on the south by Kenya, and on the west and southwest by Sudan. The central plateau, known as the highlands, is surrounded on three sides by desert with a significantly lower elevation. The plateau is between six thousand and ten thousand feet above sea level, with the highest peak being Ras Deshan, the fourth-tallest mountain in Africa.…
