1/5 On the 1st of March 126 years ago, traditional warriors & farmers as well as women defeated a well-armed Italian army in the town of Adwa, Ethiopia. The outcome of this battle ensured Ethiopia’s independence, making it the only African country never to be colonised. #Adwa πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ή Image
2/5 The triumph of πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ή|ns at Adwa heralded hope of freedom for the Africans in Africa & beyond. It inspired Africans to embark on liberation struggles from forces of colonialism. That is why forces of resistance in the 20 century used Ethiopia as a representation of freedom. #Adwa Image
3/5 There were religious movements in Africa known as Ethiopianism. Also the well-known Rastafarian movement draws its inspiration from Ethiopia. Pan-Africanists such as Marcus Garvey & Bob Marley got their inspiration from association with Ethiopia because of this event at Adwa. Image
