Best Answer

As of 2016, every major European former colonial power has suffered at least one defeat in an African State, but the question is likely referring to the ITALIAN defeat against the Ethiopians at the Battle of Adwa, which was the only major defeat of a European colonial power prior to World War II by an African country.
