Summary
[edit]DescriptionDetail, "Battle of Adwa (2141058909).jpg |
On March 1, 1896, Ethiopian forces commanded by Emperor Menelik II defeated the Italian army at the Battle of Adwa. It was the first time an African nation had defeated a European power. The Ethiopian victory at Adwa prevented the Italians from establishing imperial rule over Ethiopia then. However, forty years later the Italians conquered Ethiopia and established the short-lived colony of Africa Orientale Italiana (Italian East Africa). The colony existed from 1936 through mid-1941, when the Italians were expelled permanently. If you look closely, you'll see the horses all look suitably fierce for the occasion. This is quite a contrast from the happy-go-lucky expressions horses in Ethiopian art usually wear. |
