The invasion of Egypt was watched with cautious interest until it was clear that wasn't going to lead to any interference in Aksum's sphere of influence
Was your nation involved in a major European war between at least two major powers (1800s): Depends on if the Eastern Roman Empire was still around, if yes, Aksum would have lent them minor support in defensive wars.
Was your nation involved in, or affected by, a conference or war to decide who settles Africa (mid 1800s): Aksum was not invited, a rather serious oversight. Attempts made to colonize the Horn of Africa were resisted with great vigor, though limited success. The Kingdom of Medri Bahri (Eritrea), which was a satellite of Aksum was eventually conquered by a colonizer. The Neighboring allied Kingdom of Zeila (Djibouti and Somaliland) and rival Kingdom of Adjuuran (Somalia proper) were also divided amongst the colonizers. For a time Aksum retreated into militant isolation in the highland core of the Kingdom.
How was your nation involved in major worldwide conflict #1 Ethnic Tension (early 1900s): Aksum briefly hoped to use the war as an opportunity to strike at the Neighboring colonizers but they all were on the same side of the Great War so no opportunity presented itself. Aksum did emerge from isolation and normalize relations with the Neighboring colonial powers. Trade resumed and the Kingdom began an urgent program of modernization.
Was the ideology of your nation challenged, and if so, did the ideology take over the nation (1900s): Aksum has slowly liberalized starting in the beginning of the 20th century, but no major challenge was made to the Monarchy in the early half of the century.
How did the economic depression in the years following the war affect your nation (~1930s): Aksum was relatively unscathed, mostly due to being only lightly tied into the global market at the time.
How was your nation involved in major worldwide conflict #2 Radical Ideology (mid 1900s): The colonial power holding Medri Bahri and Adjuuran repudiated their recognition of Aksum and invaded. Aksum fought valiantly but it's forces were slowly pushed back until they held only a few mountain fortresses. Once the War expanded however the enemy swiftly lost control of the seas and any way to supply it's forces in Aksum. Aksumite forces swiftly retook their country, officially joined the Allies and sent forces to fight in other fronts of the Africa campaign.
How was your nation involved in decolonization (mid-late 1900s): Post war Medri Bahri was federalized with Aksum as an autonomous zone while Adjuuran was added to the holdings of the Ally who already held most of Zeila. Aksum attempted, semi-succesfully, to arbitrate between it's new allies and the independence movements which were springing up across Africa. As the colonial powers withdrew Aksum provided as much aid as they could to the newly independent states. Unfortunately despite the best efforts of the Aksumite Kingdoms most of their new neighbors were unable to maintain stability.
How was your nation involved in the cold war between capitalism and communism/fascism (late 1900s): A foreign funded communist insurgency was active in Aksum for quite a few years before ultimately being driven underground. As such Aksum now is staunchly opposed to communist powers as "destabilizing forces". Modern Aksum is a trading nation with strong links to the global capitalist system.
