TPLF secret revealed

On this premise Italy announces to the world that Ethiopia is currently an Italian protectorate. In 1890 Menelik excuses this case. In 1893 he disavows the whole arrangement. The Italians react with an endeavor to force their protectorate forcibly.

The genuine outcome is strikingly unique.

Menelik drives about 70,000 men on the long excursion north from Addis Ababa. At the point when the militaries meet, at Aduwa on 1 March 1896, the Italians experience the most embarrassing and bleeding rout at any point experienced by a provincial power in Africa.
