Answer:

The correct answer is 4. The Battle of Adwa is uncharacteristic of the  Scramble for Africa in that native forces were able to overcome the  superior technology of Europeans.

Explanation:

The Battle of Adwa was fought on March 1, 1896 between Italy and Abyssinia during the first Italian-Abyssinian war. With Italian help, Menelik, prince of Shoa, succeeded in seizing the crown of the emperor. In return, in the Treaty of Ucciali in 1889, he promised to recognize an Italian protectorate over Abyssinia. However, he canceled the agreement after restoring the country's inner peace. That is why Francesco Crispi, the Italian leader, started the war against Abyssinia. On March 25, 1895, Italian troops crossed the border and occupied Adigrat. In September, Menelik II declared formal war against Italy. The Ethiopians won a minor victory at Amba Alagi on December 8. On March 1, 1896, the Italian colonial army of 2,000 men under General Oreste Baratieri was completely dispersed by Ethiopians in the Battle of Adwa. Through the peace in Addis Ababa on October 26, 1896, Italy was forced to renounce the claim for protectorate over the country and also to pay war damages. Abyssinia thus remained the only country in Africa to retain its independence at this time.

How did the constitution solve the congress from having limited powers such as taxtation
Marina86 [1]

The Constitution powers are expressly ennumerated, but the "necessary and proper cause" gives elasticity to the Constitution. This view was particularlty defended by Alexander Hamilton. The explanation is that the government has implied rights to use means adequate to its object, but that it is impossible to define all possible means that can be used by it.

In no less than four sentences, discuss at least three reasons that African nationalism grew in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Marysya12 [62]

After the II war, the African Nationalism emerged late 1940s and early 1950s  because three main reasons: The first one was that nearly two million African soldiers who were part of the II war (1939-1945) were discontent after coming back to the colonial states to be treated as slaves. The second reason was that Kwame Nkrumah father of the Pan Africanism, influenced the African Nationalist leaders  against the colonial rules to reach freedom and finally the third reason was to maintain the unity among them after the rejection of colonies which oppressed African Nationalist.
