Treaty of Addis Ababa
The Treaty of Addis Ababa was signed in 1896 between Ethiopia and Italy after the Ethiopian victory at the Battle of Adwa. It annulled the disputed Treaty of Wuchale and recognised Ethiopia's full independence. Accounts of the Ethiopian Empire treat it as the diplomatic confirmation of Menelik II's military triumph, which made Ethiopia one of the few African states to avoid European colonisation.
