Question

Members of an expedition from this modern-day country [emphasize] in another country were ambushed at Lafoole, initiating a campaign against this country primarily led by the Bimaal clan, the Banadir (10[1])resistance. This country (-5[1])recruited Dubat soldiers to manage their occupation of the Majeerteen and Hobyo (10[1]-5[1])Sultanates. This (-5[1])country’s defeat (10[1])of (10[1])Bahta (-5[1])Hagos’s revolt and victory at the Battle of Coatit began a war that this country lost due to (10[1])guns (10[1])provided by Nikolai Leontiev and the Russian (10[5]-5[2])Empire. A misinterpretation led this (10[1])country to attempt a failed (-5[1])invasion of its fellow signatory of the Treaty of (10[1])Wuchale (10[2])(“wuh-CHAH-lay”). This (10[1])country recruited Eritrean ascari troops to fight in (10[1])a (10[2])battle in which they were defeated by (10[1])Menelik (10[2])II. (10[1])For 10 (10[1])points, (10[1])name (10[1]-5[1])this (10[1])European (10[1])colonial power repulsed (10[1])at the Battle of (10[2])Adwa (10[1])by the (10[1])Ethiopian Empire. (10[8])■END■
