In 1896 a massive Ethiopian army routed an invading Italian force and brought Italy s conquest of Africa to an end. In defending its independence, Ethiopia cast doubt on the assumption that all Africans would fall under the rule of Europeans, and opened a breach that would lead to the continent s painful struggle for freedom from colonial rule."
