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.

Spain: In 1492 Christopher Columbus, an explorer sent from the Spain crown of Isabella and Ferdinand in search of gold. Columbus intended to sail to India but sailed by accident to the Caribbean and the Americas instead. Realizing his misnomer(wrong designation), he instead looking here in search of gold and silver as well as eventually to exploit natives. This is shown in the areas of el mina and the Potosí. The Columbian  exchange is when diseases, was the widespread transfer of animals, plants, culture, human populations, communicable diseases, technology and ideas between the American and Afro-Eurasian hemispheres.
 
England: A voyage by John Cabot on behalf of English investors in 1497 failed to spark any great interest in the New World. England was divided in the 1500s by great religious turmoil so they escaped to the new world. When Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church in 1533, decades of religious strife ensued. Finally, under Henry's daughter Elizabeth, the English were prepared to stake their claims.

France: Many French Huguenots came to the British colonies for the same reason. The French came to the Americas in search of a homeland for the French Huguenots(protestants). Because they were not free to profess their religion in France.

Dutch:<span> Most Dutch came to America simply because they calculated that the future promised more prosperity for them and their children in America than in Holland. The Dutch were ever "family, faith, and farming" advocates. And the Dutch — as opposed to the Puritans — enjoyed the materialistic and creature comforts in life that their hard-earned money bought.
