The Ethiopian victory, particularly during the First Italo-Ethiopian War (1895-1896), was largely attributed to Emperor Menelik II, who united various Ethiopian factions and effectively mobilized the army. The support of Ethiopian leaders and their troops, along with strategic alliances, played a crucial role. Additionally, the use of modern weapons acquired from Europe contributed significantly to their success against Italian forces at the Battle of Adwa in 1896. This victory solidified Ethiopia's sovereignty and inspired other African nations.
