Italo-Abyssinian War

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Two conflicts between Italy and Ethiopia (called "Abyssinia" by Europeans at the time) are known as the Italo-Abyssinian War:

  • The First Italo-Abyssinian War of 1895–1896 resulted in a victory for the Ethiopians and international recognition of their empire by the great powers of the time.
  • The Second Italo-Abyssinian War of 1935–1936 resulted in a very brief Italian victory with Italian occupation of the entire country for five years as the colony of Italian East Africa.
