Seeing as though I get loads of comments saying something like "Italy never conquered Ethiopia..." I'll copy and paste a response I gave to someone. I think this is just a case of semantics. More often than not the 2 (conquer/invade) are interchangable, for instance you could say the Norman invasion/conquest of England. And this is how I use it, but I'm still going to defend my choice of words because I'm just like that. Especially because A lot of people have said this and it seems that Ethiopian nationalists get riled up over which word is chosen (of course I can hazard a guess as to why they care so much). But I think the Italians didn't just "stay." And you also couldn't say it was an occupation because that usually doesn't involve direct rule or annexation. The Ethiopian government on the otherhand was ousted, it was absorbed into Italian East Africa and Italy acted like a conqueror by building roads, redesigning Cities and recruiting locals into their armies. Sure it was very brief and their control was limited. And I often hear the military resistance proves it wasn't a conquest, but I think you'd struggle to find a conquest that didn't face opposition, sometimes for centuries. I'd say there are instances when the terms aren't so interchangeable - for instance Germany invaded Russia but didn't conquer it. But I think you could say Ethiopia was briefly conquered if you go by this definition: "the subjugation and assumption of control of a place or people by military force." You may have a different definition, however I think we will just start endlessly splitting hairs.

In my opinion the Italians failed at colonizing Ethiopia, a five year occupation using advanced weapons and mustard gas did nothing for Italy. They gained almost nothing, and Ethiopia shows few Italian influences today. The Ethiopians destroyed them, and they only won the second war due to a large army, and mustard gas usage.

Yes, at the most known battle in abyssinia history the italians were heavily outnumbered, some thing like 9 or 11 to 1. But you most understand that the source of this "unfair" battle was only because some italian leaders, including the president of that time, heavily underestimated our military power and our civilization capabilities as a whole. I am not skeptic that they thought the battle was going to look like the last battle between the zulus and the brits, where the brits were heavily outnumbered like the Italians yet won the battle.

I’m sorry if your perceive that Italy has been mistreated, but you have to understand the atrocity of invading another nation (let alone a Christian one. Would the Lord approve of the Catholic Church’s failure to intervene in the situation knowing that the people of Italy were going to brutally murder a Christian nation in vindictive greed for its past failures?) It doesn’t matter if France or Britain or Germany or or other Europeans nations are perceived as saints (it really doesn’t); what matters is that the people of Italy were swayed by the deceitful and chauvinistic words of a modern day autocrat and they who call themselves “Christians”, who currently house the Vatican , were manipulated to carry out a utterly immoral act. That is what matters! Italy did wrong, and you know it! Despite that, I agree, I do think that England and France’s imperialistic repercussions are not discussed as widely even though their action were force than that of Italy because they weren’t as humiliated by an African country.

Now onto the second, what happened was an absolute fucking disgrace and my god nobody here in Italy is proud about it. It's not like we brag about colonialism like in other countries (you guess what countries).

Overtime, the Lombards adopted the Latin language and combined it with their own Germanic language to form modern day Italian thus starting the Italian culture. By the time they did this, however, Roman culture was long dead and its language was only being used by the Catholic church for religious ceremonies

In 1889, the Italians signed the Treaty of Wuchale with then Ethiopian king Menelik II who essentially granted Eritrea to Italy in exchange for recognition of Ethiopian sovereignty. Italy also promised Menelik II financial assistance and military supplies. Treaty of Wichale, Wichale also spelled Ucciali, (May 2, 1889), pact signed at Wichale, Ethiopia, by the Italians and Menilek II of Ethiopia, whereby Italy was granted the northern Ethiopian territories of Bogos, Hamasen, and Akale-Guzai (modern Eritrea and northern Tigray) in exchange for a sum of money and the provision of 30,000 muskets and 28 cannons. Source: www.britannica.com/event/Treaty-of-Wichale. Eventually, Ethiopia did defeat Italy in the battle of Adwa (approx. 100,000 Ethiopians vs 20,000 Italians) and afterwards Menelik signed an agreement recognizing Eritrea as a sovereign state of Italy. Basically, Eritrea was used as a political tool to gain leverage with the Italian colonialist when it was convenient for Ethiopia's survival. This should explain the Derg's barbaric regime, Woyane's betrayal and the common attitude of entitlement towards Eritrea. Let's pray and hope for peace, it's the only way to move forward and succeed, but it's equally important to know & remember the past accurately so we don't repeat the same mistakes.

Good for Ethiopia. Say what you must like they outnumbered the Italians or the Italian army was weak or whatever. I am happy for they won and stayed a independent country whether you think it wasn't much of a defeat or not. Its good they won.

The only thing that can be safely said, is that Italy won the definition of a Pyrrhic victory here. If they realized any benefits from this occupation, they shortly lost them to incompetence and mismanagement. The whole affair was, sadly, a waste of everybody's time, money, and blood.

the Ethiopians had over 200k men with modern Russian rifles, whereas the Italians had 17k men with outdated blackpowder Vetterli Rifles. (mostly Askari) Ethiopia ended up as the victor due to the Italian public rioting over the pro-war stance of the government, forcing the Italian Expeditionary forces to withdraw. Congrats The first Decisive African victory was technically the First Zulu war, but most people don't count it because the British came back with their real army and beat them in the end. Imagine if Italy brought in it's real army... (Britain also failed it's first invasion of Benin)

Ethiopia also didn’t use its full potential, only half of the 200k Ethiopian troops had those rifles.

3:17 conquered Ethiopia . what a joke . Stop writing your own history . We know our history . Ethiopia wasn't conquered by Italy .Now let’s have a look at Ethiopian history, specifically the years 1936 to 1941. The second Ethio-Italian war started a long time before 1935. The first Ethio-Italian war, which ended with Italy’s defeat and humiliation at Adowa in 1896, could be seen as the starting point. Italy wanted revenge and started the second war on October 3rd, 1935. It ended on May 7th, 1936 with the collapse of the Ethiopian Army, which had fought bravely but could not stand up to the poison gas and bombs raining from the Fascists’ airplanes. They marched into Addis Ababa on May 5th, 1936. It must be noted that Ethiopia never surrendered. The first of the Ethiopian patriots to start the guerilla warfare that would continue till victory day was Lij Hailemaria Mamo of Debre Damo. He attacked a convoy of Italians that were heading to Addis Ababa on May 4th, 1936 thus gaining him the name first of the Ethiopian Patriots or “Arbegna.” After him came resistance in each and every part of Ethiopia. The more the patriots fought the harsher the fascists became, and the harsher they became the more people joined the patriots. By the end of 1936, almost all of Ethiopia was up in rebellion and fighting a guerilla war. To name a very few of the patriots’ leaders: • Lij Hailemariam Mamo in and around Debre Damo • Abebe Aregay in and around Showa • Dejazmach Menegesha and Belay Zelleke in the the Gojjam are and around the Nile Gorge • Dejazmach Balcha “Aba Nefso” Safo in the Gurage lands • Dejazmach Hailu Kebede in the Lasta lands • There were Eritrean deserters who fought on the Ethiopian side, even when the patriots were losing. • This war was supported by civilians living in the occupied cities, they were called ‘Ye Wist Arbegnoch’ or the “inside warriors.” At no given time during those fives years were Italians not fighting for their lives. Apart from the cities where they had their garrisons the land a few kilometers away was controlled by the patriots and the vast countryside remained free.

+InfoRome Nope, that's referred to as whitewashing history. What do you expect to hear in the white man's “encyclopedic” book? That they lost and could not achieve full control of the land/ people? Get real mate. It was under Italian occupation not colonization, there is an immense difference between the two. There were guerrilla fighters constantly challenging Italian military occupation within the country which prohibited the Italians from getting a strong foot hold on the land. This occurred to the mere extent of five years (this is nothing). There was no slavery, injustice upon the natives, etc. during that time. The five years consisted of various breakouts of guerrilla attack tactics against the Italian military strong hold which was clinging on the edge for control. The Ethiopian people have been warding off invaders for millennia and far out numbered the Italian forces. Next time don't give me some “extension of the truth” / lie some crappy white man written encyclopedias say.

That was a nice concise modern history of Ethiopians defending themselves from foreign invaders. Thank you. However your final statement should have been stated in a different manner. We were not conquered by the Italians in the end. Yes they finally won a battle against us, only because of the airplane invention along with the illegal/unethical use of chemical warfare(mustard gas). After losing to us numerous times the Italians were afraid to face our fierce warriors on the ground in conventional warfare. It is more accurate to say our capital city was occupied for 5 years, but we formed the black lion movement to resist you from invading the rest of the country. We may have a 3rd world economy but all Ethiopians at least maintain their pride all the way to the grave knowing that neither the white race, the Arabians, the Turks, or any other Africans could conquer us.
