And in 1942, with a little British help, Ethiopia threw the Italians back out and reclaimed their independence.

It was before WW2, there was alot of attacks around the world on smaller nations which successfully challenged the power/authority of the League of Nations and gave Hitler the confidence to start invading shit.

I wish the swastika wasn't associated with teh Nazi's. It's such a cool symbol and was used for 1000's of years with good intent before Hitler stoled it.

It was a land grab basically because the Italians felt short-changed after WW1. So they wanted part of Africa like the rest of Europe. Oil was not found there till after WW2
