15 dic 1894 año - First Italo-Ethiopian War Begins

Descripción:

The First Italo-Ethiopian War was fought between Italy and Ethiopia (supported by Russia and France) from 1895 to 1896. It originated from the disputed Treaty of Wuchale which, the Italians claimed, turned the country into an Italian protectorate. During the war, the Ethiopians were vastly numerically superior and armed with rifles supplied by Russia and France, who also provided military advisers and army training. In contrast, Italy was technologically superior but a mostly poor nation, and its force in Ethiopia equipped with antiquated weapons.
