Alternative History

The Second Treaty of Cairo was an agreement between the Ethiopian Empire, Rashidun Caliphate, and Jaffarid Arabia to end the conflict known as the 3rd Arab-Ethiopian War. It was convened in 1742 in the Cairo citidel. 

Terms of the treaty[]

Prelude[]

The First Treaty of Cairo, which established peace between the successor states of the Caliphate Empire, was broken by the coalition of Arabia, Persia, and Morocco by their invasion of Ethiopia in 1739. At that point, the treaty became null and void, leading to the conflict known as the Third Arab-Ethiopian War. With the conflict reaching a critical point, a new peace agreement is settled. As such, all the previous provisions of the Treaty of Cairo are re-initiated.
