Overview:

Emperor Haile Selassie realized that a decisive battle was needed to reverse the fortunes of his empire. Near his new headquarters at Quoram, he gathered the remnants of his defeated armies and the yet unbloodied Imperial Guard. The Emperor hoped to launch an attack quickly across the valley to the Italian encampment at Mai Ceu. The attack, however, was delayed by a week due to squabbling among his chiefs. The Italians used the delay to fortify their positions. Low stone walls and sturdy thorn Zeriba hedges were erected and trenches dug. When the attack finally launched at 5:45 on the morning of 31 March, the Italians were ready.
