Fascist Italy invades Ethiopia

📅 3 Òktober 1935 📍 Etiopia, Italia

Italian forces invaded Ethiopia from Eritrea and Italian Somaliland, using superior weapons and chemical agents against a sovereign African state. Ethiopia appealed to the League of Nations, whose sanctions were weak and inconsistently enforced. Haile Selassie's 1936 address in Amharic challenged the institution's failure and connected Ethiopian resistance to a wider critique of racialized international power.
