The correct answer is A. It marked the beginning of the Zemene Mesafint.<br /><br />The Battle of Ayshal, also known as the Battle of Emba Yohannes, took place in 1865 in present-day Eritrea. It was a significant event in Ethiopian history as it marked the beginning of the Zemene Mesafint, a period of decentralization and regionalism in Ethiopia. This period was characterized by the fragmentation of power among various regional rulers and the decline of centralized authority. The battle was fought between the Ethiopian Empire and the Sultanate of Aussa, and it resulted in the defeat of the Ethiopian forces. This defeat led to the rise of regional powers and the weakening of the central authority in Ethiopia, setting the stage for the Zemene Mesafint.
