The Battle of Adwa was a decisive military victory for Ethiopia over the invading Italian forces in 1896. It was a major victory for Ethiopia, as it marked the first time an African nation had successfully resisted a European colonial invasion. The victory also had a major impact on the course of African history, as it demonstrated that African nations could successfully resist European colonialism. The battle was seen as an unjust war on the part of Italy, as they had attempted to colonize Ethiopia without provocation.
