Peace In Their Time

Episode 190 - The Italo-Ethiopian War, Part III

Listen Later

Today I conclude the events of the initial Italian invasion of Ethiopia. It's an anti-climatic affair, with the collapse of the main Ethiopian armies the big challenge facing the invaders were the distances and geography involved. Still, there were numerous half-hearted gestures that delayed the Italians establishing their rule for many months after proper hostilities had concluded, and which set the stage for a long period of unrest that the occupiers were never able to control.
