Man!!!
What for a match!!!
150,000 well armed ethios faced 30,000 italian soldiers. Among the italian soldiers there were over 10,000 eris and some somalis (they were citizens of italy's colony Somaliland then) were forcefully conscripted.
Once the battle of adwa was over and won.The tigrian warlord mengesha yohannes who happened to be the illegitimate son of atse yohannes proposed to menilik that the hands and legs of the eritrean prisoners should be chopped off.
Menilik was under pressure then from the europeans warning him not to harm the italian prisoners (the whites lol). Hence, the italian prisoners were spared. However, we eris remember that 433 great-grand-fathers who were conscripted forcefully lost parts of their limbs savagely.
