The battle of Adwa the 1st of March, \u00a01896 a great victory and pride for Africans at home and Diaspora. The victory assured that Ethiopia successfully resisted European colonization.<\/p>\n

A prehistoric stale in the birth place of Menelik II<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Italy the late comer to the scramble for Africa in the late 19th<\/sup> century \u00a0\u00a0was allocated to Ethiopia but just needed to take control. The Italians and the rest of the European powers present at the Berlin Conference 1885 wrongly assumed that Ethiopia was made up of rival tribes fighting one another and thought it would be a quick promenade for their 20,000 strong highly trained invasion forces. They never thought \u00a0what they call \u201ctribal back word savages” could be united raising a much larger patriotic people\u2019s army to defend their country and even to<\/p>\n

The main cause of the Battle being the European colonial ambition it manifested through the different treaty the colonial powers used to cheat the Africans. This was highly manifested by Italo Ethiopian Treaty known as the Wechale Treaty. \u00a0\u00a0The colonial manipulation started when Menelik II came to the throne in 1889 the Italians thought that he would surrender sovereignty to them since they had been supplying him with ammunitions. They succeeded to manipulate the king on \u00a0May 2, 1889, to make him \u00a0sign \u00a0the Treaty\u00a0 of Uccialli in the province of Wello, with which Menelik accorded for the \u00a0Italians some land in Tigre to the already concession he has made by letting them to take Eritrea. In this famous once sided treaty, they \u00a0\u00a0tricked Menelik by having two different versions- one in Italian and other in Amharic. The secret of the Italian plan was manifested on \u00a0\u00a0article 17 which read in one in Amharic and other in Italian. \u00a0\u00a0Thus the Italian version read: –<\/span><\/p>\n

The Emperor consents to use the Italian government for all the business he does with all the other Powers or Governments<\/em>“.
\nThe Amharic version reads:-
\n“The Emperor has the option to communicate with the help of the Italian government for all matters that he wants with the kings of Europe.”<\/em><\/p>\n
