Ethiopia 1936: the birth of Italian Empire History Civilization

Code: 017545

With a great gathering in Piazza Venezia, on October 2, 1935, Mussolini announces the start of the military operations on the Ethiopian Plateau. At dawn the next day Italian troops cross the Mareb River, the boundary between Eritrea and Ethiopia, and begin their march on Abyssinian territory, heading toward the capital city. Thus begins the War of Ethiopia, which will end eight months later, in early May 1936, with the capture of Addis Abeba and the proclamation of the Italian Empire.
