In 1889 the emperor of Ethiopia, Menelik II, undertook a program of modernization that included a modern Army. In 1895, Italian forces invaded Ethiopia over a treaty dispute. Within a year, however, Menelik’s forces – more numerous and better armed than the Italians – defeated the Italians at the Battle of Adwa.” (p.760) World History Textbook, 2006
