This empire was victorious at one battle partially thanks to the antics of the ex-Confederate William W. Loring, who argued that the losers should march out of their fort and fight this empire’s troops head on. Arthur Rimbaud attempted to make a living reselling old rifles to this country’s military at marked-up prices. The massive mortar “Sevastopol” was manufactured by this empire. After winning the Battle of Gura, this empire negotiated the (*) Hewett Treaty and promising to end the slave trade in its territories. After refusing to release the British consul Charles Cameron, a ruler of this empire made a last stand at the hill fortress of Magdala. During a war sparked by the incredibly-misleading Treaty of Wuchale, this empire’s empress Taytu led troops against the forces of Oreste Baratieri. For 10 points, name this empire which defeated the Italians (10[1])at the Battle of Adwa. ■END■
