I notice that comments are turned off for video of teenager speech purported to be Adwa Combatant. The best Audio and video quality ever for moving pictures made in 1896 that proves that these supposed primitive people were Man for Man far more intellectually advanced than their vaunted Italian and Eritrean Adversaries. I do not wish to denigrate the Sacrifices and achievement’s of the Abyssinian’s/ Ethiopian’s. Certainly Menelik II must be commended for being a leader who did not fear making every effort to Arm the whole Body of His people with the very latest in Firearms technology and utilizing even antiquated arms where necessary. Private ownership of modern Arms was encouraged and part of the culture which contributed greatly to the advantage the Abyssinians enjoyed in the disparity of Numbers. Evidently the Italian leadership was as inept as Joe Biden thinking that a couple of warning shots would suffice to route the enemy and who need’s all that ammo anyway?
Military blunder??? Hell no!!! The Ethiopians beat the Italians!!! Their leadership had the genius of organization and unification. Don't even try to diminish that.
Not to mention Menelik's strategic moves , how he made the Italians think the ethiopians were ununified and not ready for combat when in fact they were silently planning to squash all regional differences and annihilate the Italians, Menelik used the same propaganda as his enemies.
Sir the presenter, the Ethiopians were fighting from their heart for their dignity and survival whereas the invading army of Italy was simply conquering a land that doesn’t belong to them.
Yes Great man not only you Respect my People's heroism , But the way you say it make me glad & to be proud of my people who make my Nation the only free & my people ! Thank you Dear 👍
One problem I see here is that many Europeans saw Ethiopia as a great nation long before Adwa. In fact the British tried to warn off Italy because they saw that Ethiopia was getting stronger. The Italians were just too arrogant.
A lot of people give the impression that Europeans invaded peaceful and prosperous foreign lands when in actual fact most of these countries had internal tribal conflicts that had waged for many years. Most of the indigenous people were basically slaves and oppressed by their rulers. Having Europeans ruling them was for many a good thing.
that is a lie your trying to justify colonisation,,,,,, has if all people are benefiting from being exploited,,,,,,thats like saying jewish people benefited from going to concentration camps,,,,,you can lie all you want,,,,,🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Having Europeans ruling over them was good? How so? Many Europeans were even more so oppressive and deadly. Similarly the pot calling the kettle black.
I disagree with the presentation. It is lop-sided and Eurocentric. The Ethiopians, despite traveling thousands of kilometers by foot and horse back, won the battle because they were smarter, determined and tactful. Many of the Ethiopian brave worriors were familiar with the terrain. Emperor Menelik and Empress Taitu were smart enough to enlist the service of double agents to the advantage of the Ethiopian worriors. None in Europe or the " civilized " world could even have dreamed of an African country of " savages" could inflict a decisive and crushing defeat to an European power. That was in the past. We need to give credit where credit is due. Ethiopia and Italy today are best friends.✌️😍😎☮️
Identifying your enemies weakness and using It to your advantage is a well known smart battle strategy. The Ethiopians used this to deliver a decisive blow to the well equipped and trained invading army, PERIOD.
Plus ou moins 120 000 Ethiopiens contre 11 000 Italiens et 6.700 Ascari Eritrei .......... 5200 morts entre Italiens et Ascari, avec 1.500 blessés. Les Ethiopiens ont eu environ 7.000 morts et 10 000 blesses (plus de 50% d'entre eux sont morts dans les jours suivants) ....
Why is this ignoramus not aware about the role of the Ethiopian diplomatic mission sent demonstratively contrary to the Treaty with Italy to St. Petersburg,? He is phenomenal incompetent because cannot understand the role of the Russian military mission in the army of Menelik II. The memories of Russian military advisers who had seen battle near Adwa with my own eyes is the most objective historical source.
some of your speech is not true. So you should revise your source unless you will be defeated too as Italy,there was no modern weapons beside Ethiopia as Italians but Ethiopians people was brave warriors that is why they destroy European selfish people. I am proud of Emperor Minilik and his wife as well as the whole brave warriors of Ethiopian people.
Glory to Ethiopia One Africa
The blue colour in Ethiopian flag represent my Gene. I'm blue, I am a Crips. God bless Ethiopia

Thankyou for ADWA presentation. We need voice now.
ViVA Ethiopia viva Africa I'm from Ethiopia
Just ethiopians outsmarted the Italians that's all
It reminds me of the battle of Isandlwana in South Africa where the Zulu warriors defeated the British army.

The Italians had used up all their military skill during the roman period. So by the time we get to 1896 Italy isn't shit.
Plus ou moins 120 000 Ethiopiens contre 11 000 Italiens et 6.700 Ascari Eritrei .......... 5200 morts entre Italiens et Ascari, avec 1.500 blessés. Les Ethiopiens ont eu environ 7.000 morts et 10 000 blesses (plus de 50% d'entre eux sont morts dans les jours suivants) ....
not only haiti funded that war also about 5000 haitians went to Ethiopia and fought in that war. Truth need to be told, peace.
PLEASE COULD YOU TELL ME THE SOURCE OF YOUR SPECULATION?
Joseph Lindor yea right
Joseph Lindor how did a country in the Caribbean help Ethiopia you people came from west Africa
Joseph Lindor they wouldn't have allowed you to fight Bantu
Really dude...Haiti...how do u evn come up with this kindda crap...no sense, no base, stupid!!
