The Untold Story of the Battle of Adwa

Описание: In 1896, while Europe was carving Africa into colonies, one African nation refused to fall.
At the Battle of Adwa, Ethiopia faced a powerful European empire


and won.


This documentary tells the untold story of the Battle of Adwa, one of the most important but least understood events in world history. Through deep historical research and cinematic narration, we explore how Emperor Menelik II united Ethiopia, how African strategy defeated European arrogance, and why this victory shook the colonial world.


The Battle of Adwa was not just a military confrontation.
It was a declaration of African intelligence, unity, and resistance.


Yet for generations, this story was minimized, ignored, or removed from mainstream history.
In this episode of Echoes of History, we bring the story back — in full.
