Italian Invasion of Ethiopia, 1935

The Second ItaloAbyssinian War (also referred to as the Second Italo-Ethiopian War) was a brief colonial war that started in October 1935 and ended in May 1936. The war was fought between the armed forces of the Kingdom of Italy (Regno d'Italia) and the armed forces of the Ethiopian Empire (also known as Abyssinia). The war resulted in the military occupation of Ethiopia and its annexation into the newly created colony of Italian East Africa (Africa Orientale Italiana, or AOI). However, Ethiopia never capitulated or surrendered.

Politically, the war is best remembered for exposing the inherent weakness of the League of Nations. Like the Mukden Incident in 1931 (the Japanese annexation of three Chinese provinces), the Abyssinia Crisis in 1934 is often seen as a clear example of the ineffectiveness of the League. Both Italy and Ethiopia were member nations and yet the League was unable to control Italy or to protect Ethiopia when Italy clearly violated the League's own Article X. The war is also remembered for the illegal use of mustard gas and phosgene by the Italian armed forces.

The positive outcome of the war for the Italians coincided with the zenith of the international popularity of dictator Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime, in a phase called "the age of consensus"[citation needed] during which foreign leaders, including Churchill, praised him for his achievements, ignoring the social, political, and human cost of these achievements.

@NitroEthiopian Shabo, i dont understand your incoherent tigrinya, maybe you should speak Italian, the language of your forefathers who came to africa to rape your shermuta mother. Deki shermuta lol. Still crying over badme i see. :)

@OperationSunset No one is licking any wound. Shabia/Weyane all the same shit to us. It hurts to be hated doesn't it? We will let you keep your little fairy-tale of "Ethiopians" hating Shabias but not Woyanes lmao keep believing that. 20 years and still hated more than ever not surprising. One, SHabia, is a slave and the other Woyane, a parasite.

@NitroEthiopian Shabo scumbag, lick your wounds, like a wounded dog you can bark but with no bite: 12 shabo soldiers liquidated by The Red Sea Afar Democratic Organisation (RSADO) and the Eritrean National Salvation Front, more death and destruction to come for Air-trains.

(((LoL)))

[NitroEthiopian]

@OperationSunset Who gives a rats ass? Great! You will all kill each other. That is what parasites do.

@NitroEthiopian Shabo scumbag, bad news: Eritrea rebels say they killed 12 shabo troops - The Red Sea Afar Democratic Organisation (RSADO) and the Eritrean National Salvation Front said they carried out the raid on Thursday in Kermed, Adi Metras, Ingra Abo, Adi Tela'a and Meshal Akran, all in southern Eritrea.

Libya part 2 lol

@OperationSunset We could careless, and that kills you doesn't it? How does it feel to be hated? Remember that Ethiopawinet will bury both you and your Shabia friends. There is no escaping it. Ethiopiawinet has and will always rise. Word of advice, you're better of sticking to that falsified Tigrai identity where you heroes are Haylom etc... You'll always be handicapped. Once Woyane is gone you'll all be deranged people, and the Shabias ll'be pissing their pants. Get ready. It's coming soon.
