Ethiopia was invaded by Italy in 1935 as part of Benito Mussolini's ambition to expand Italy's colonial empire in Africa. The invasion aimed to assert Italian dominance and avenge Italy's defeat in the First Italo-Ethiopian War (1895-1896). The conflict garnered international attention and condemnation, but the League of Nations failed to intervene effectively, allowing Italy to occupy Ethiopia until 1941. The invasion highlighted the challenges faced by African nations in maintaining sovereignty during the era of European Imperialism.
