Best Answer

Ethiopian leaders like King Menelik II were able to play different European powers against each other and acquire European weapons, especially from the France and Russia. Using this, and his central authority as a proper king (as opposed to a more local tribal chieftain), he was able to create a modern army in the European style to defend his country. Menelik II also had his generals learn warfare strategies in order to effectively fend off an attack from the Russians. This resulted in Menelik II using effective strategies against the invading Italians at the Battle of Adwa.
