The Battle of Omdurman was probably the last battle between an army equipped with the latest technology and an ill-equipped force with no modern weaponry. Spears and a few breech loaders were no match against artillery and Maxim machine guns.

I think it was the Ethiopian tribesmen against the Italians in 1935 but the regular Ethiopian Army had some modern weapons.
