Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modern weapons were decisive in both battles. In Omdurman, the British forces had superior weapons, including machine guns and artillery, which allowed them to defeat the smaller Sudanese army. In Ethiopia, the Italian forces also had modern weapons but were outnumbered by the Ethiopian army, who also had modern weapons due to the efforts of Emperor Menelik II to modernize his army. The Ethiopians were able to use their superior weaponry to repel the Italian invasion. Islamic unity and anti-Western hostility were factors in Omdurman, but not in Ethiopia, while African nationalism was not a major factor in either battle.
