Rediscovering the Red Sea's Historical Significance
This volume is a comprehensive historical exploration of the Red Sea, a vital maritime route that connects the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. It highlights various pivotal moments and struggles from Aden to Suez, including the conflicts between Islamic powers and European imperialism over the route to India, ultimately leading to Western domination of the oceans. It highlights that the sea remains a theater of global strategy and a site of international trade and security struggles. The book integrates and summarizes relevant studies on the Arab Middle East, Ethiopia, and the Horn of Africa. From biblical times and the medieval struggles for global dominance to the current era of intense international competition along the maritime corridor known as the "Silk Road," it explores this enigmatic waterway. The book illuminates the significance and future importance of the sea's history. It is essential for all researchers interested in maritime borders and Ethiopian and Arab history.
