The invasion took place in 1935, and although the civilized world was disgusted, no countries declared war on Italy in an attempt to save Ethiopia. The League of Nations proved itself largely powerless to stop this aggression. Ethiopia had a small and poorly equipped army which was no match for the modern Italian army and air force. Italy also used poison gas against the Ethiopians, as Japan had done against the Manchurians five years earlier. After Mussolini entered World War II, the British defeated Italian forces in Ethiopia, and Addis Ababa became the first capital city liberated from the Axis.
Italy lost its Ethiopia colony in Africa at 1896 Battle of Adua.
Mussolini ordered the bombing of Adowa by planes and the beginning of the invasion of Ethiopia by Marshal Badoglio, who was authorized to use poison mustard gas and destroy civilian villages.
