Rather than a friendly alliance, fascist Italy wanted to crash #Ethiopia, its Leader of the time Emperor Minyilik and the Ethiopian peopleโs spirit. They tried to obtain a solid foot hold in Ethiopia.

A mistake was committed Ethiopians were treated as a "savage". It hadn't yet been understood. They thought they had to deal with local backward savages but a dormant civilization awakened and reappeared before the world!
While the fascists were flattering themselves that they subdued the king and his people he was preparing his nation to prove the contrary.
The victory of the Ethiopians at ADWA is that of all Africa and this point of view gradually became patent.
