The correct answer is "France and Russia".

During the first Italo-Ethiopian War, Germany and Austria supported their ally in the Triple Alliance Italy while France and Russia supported Ethiopia.

Russia backed Ethiopia up given that they were both orthodox christian nations, offering them military power and weaponery. France allied with Ethiopia mainly to prevent Italy to become a stronger colonial competitor to them.


Hope this helps!
