Emperor Menelik II's army defeated the Italian army at the Battle of Adwa in 1896. This significant battle took place in the northern region of Ethiopia and resulted in a decisive victory for Ethiopian forces. The defeat marked a crucial moment in the First Italo-Ethiopian War, solidifying Ethiopia's sovereignty and becoming a symbol of African resistance against colonialism.

When did Italian forces take Ethiopia?

Answer The war in Ethiopia was begun by a border conflict on 5 December 1934. Of course, Italy had been building up troops and intentionally set off the spark that started the war. They wanted to get revenge for the defeat in 1896. On 9 May, 1935, Mussolini again stood on the balcony of Palazzo Venezia in Rome and proclaimed that the defeat of Adowa(1896) had been avenged with victory in Ethiopia. This marked the peak of Mussolini's popularity with his countrymen. He eventually merged Ethiopia, Eritrea and Italian Somaliland into one state; the Italian East Africa (AOI - Africa Orientale Italiana). Link: http://www.custermen.com/ItalyWW2/History/Fascists.htm
