The #FirstItaloEthiopianWar ended in humiliating defeat for #Italy on #ThisDayInHistory in 1896 when 70% of its force was killed or captured in the #BattleOfAdwa. Other colonial powers permitted Italy to expand there in the #BerlinConference but #Ethiopia stayed free until 1935.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1896, #Italy failed in its quest to claim #Ethiopia as a colony (it had been granted it at the #BerlinConference), when its invasion force was solidly defeated at the #BattleOfAdwa, with 70% of its troops were killed or captured.
