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.

The correct answer is:

Sam Houston

Explanation:

Samuel Houston (1793-1863) was an American politician and lawyer who played a big role in the annexation of Texas to the United States.

Houston was the main leader of the Battle of San Jacinto, were Santa Ana was forced to recognize Texas as an independent nation. After that, Sam Houston was elected President of the Republic of Texas.

Although some people in Texas did want to be part of the United States, a lot of Americans were already living in Texas and wanted to become a state because being part of the United States Nation would get better protection, economic trades, and other benefits. Sam Houston was one of them, one argument Houston made was that Texas could not defend itself against hostile foreign powers.

Texas annexation was delayed because Northern states did not wanted slavery to expand and Texas was a slave state, Houston thought that if European countries were interested in Texas, the United States would admit them, so he sent J. Pinkney Henderson to England and France to negotiate trade alliances and secure Texas recognition.

However, it was until Sam Houston's second term that annexation was achieved, after long negotiations with United States President John Tyler, The House of Representatives voted to make Texas a state, and on December 1845 James K. Polk, the following President of United States signed the annexation of Texas.
