Habesh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Habesh (Turkish: Habeş) was an Ottoman province founded nominally in 1554 comprising Massawa, Hergigo, Suakin, Jeddah, and later Harar, with its conquest in the late 19th century. Though founded in 1554, the invasion of Ethiopia (the main area of Habesh, from Habesha), did not come until 1557.
