The <entity_0> (also called the Battle of <entity_7>) was a territorial warfare fought on <entity_2>–<entity_1> between the Mahdist <entity_5> and <entity_4> forces. It is a critical event in <entity_4> history because Nəgusä Nägäst (or Emperor) Yohannes IV was killed in this <entity_9>, and because it was the last major <entity_9> on the <entity_4> front of the <entity_3>. The fighting occurred at the site of the twin settlements of <entity_6> (in modern <entity_5>) and <entity_7> (in modern <entity_4>), so both names are commonly used and either can be argued to be correct. As a result, the <entity_8>, who had taken over the government of Egypt, negotiated the Treaty of Adowa with Emperor Yohannes IV of <entity_4> on 3 June 1884 whereby the Egyptian garrisons were allowed to evacuate to Massawa through <entity_4> territory. The twin communities of <entity_6> and <entity_7> were located on the trade route from the Nile to Gondar, the old Imperial capital; the Mahdists used these communities as their base for attacks on <entity_4>. In response, that next year the Mahdists under Abu Anga campaigned out of <entity_7> into <entity_4>; their objective was the town of Gondar. The <entity_5> gathered an army of 85,000 and fortified themselves in <entity_6>, surrounding the town with a huge zariba, a barrier made of entwined thorn bushes, replicating the effect of barbed wire. On 8 <entity_1> the <entity_4> army arrived within sight of <entity_6>, and the attack began in earnest the next day.
