1896 CE

Umberto I is suspected of aspiring to a vast empire in north-east Africa, a suspicion that tends somewhat to diminish his popularity after the disastrous Battle of Adwa in Ethiopia on March 1, 1896.

After the Battle of Adwa, public frustration with the deeply unpopular war with Ethiopia comes to the fore, and demonstrations break out in Rome with people shouting "death to the king!" and "long live the republic!".
