Historically, Abyssinia/Ethiopia was unique amongst native African states in that it was able to fend off European imperialism during the Scramble of Africa in the famous Battle of Adowa of 1896, where Ethiopian forces defeated the Italians, preserving Ethiopian independence. The question is what other native African states, with a POD after 1800, could have similarly "pulled an Abyssinia", preserving its independence, even if territorially truncated.
