The stunning victory at Adwa required Europeans to take Ethiopia and Africa more seriously. It not only initiated a decade of negotiations with European powers in which nine border treaties were signed, it made Europeans begin to reconsider their prejudices against Africans. It came to symbolize a rising awareness among Europeans of African political resources and yearnings and an increasing recognition of indigenous African cultural accomplishments.

  • You know that the Ethiopians took with them the replica of the ark of the covenant named after St George and it is St George that helped them to wine the battle of Addwa.

    If Menelik were alive he would tell you the same thing I have told you.

  • Believe it or not, Saint George defeated this war! I wish I was born when Ethiopia had true Orthodox kings

  • Battle of Adowa: The most gloreous battle fought on the soil of Africa lead by the Lion himself, Emperor Melenik II. Those who died, died with honour and dignity and those who survived lived with glory and freedom and crowned their people with pride. All Africans should have done the same. Hail The Emperor, Menelik II. The Lion of Africa.
