@minihistoryx: In 1896, Italy thought Ethiopia would be an easy conquest. Instead, Ethiopia shocked the world. At the Battle of Adwa, Emperor Menelik II and Empress Taytu led Ethiopian forces against one of Europe’s colonial powers — and won. At a time when African nations were being colonized one after another, Ethiopia did the unthinkable: it defeated a European empire and remained independent. This remains one of the greatest victories in African history, Ethiopian history, anti-colonial resistance, and the fight against colonialism. #HistoryTok #AfricanHistory #EthiopianHistory #BattleOfAdwa #hiddenhistory
