The Ethiopian leader who defeated multiple Italian invasions in the 1930s was Emperor Haile Selassie I. He is best known for his successful resistance against the Italian invasion in the First Italo-Ethiopian War (1895-1896) and his efforts during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War from 1935 to 1936. Despite initial setbacks and the occupation of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie's leadership and appeal to the League of Nations helped garner international support. He ultimately restored Ethiopian sovereignty in 1941 with the help of Allied forces during World War II.
