Which country invaded Ethiopia in 1935?

Answer 1

Italy

The invasion of Ethiopia or as it was known at the time, Abyssinia, was part of Mussolini's attempts to re-establish and enact the glory of the Roman Empire under his fascist rule.

The invasion saw the use of modern military technology against a hopelessly weak country militarily. The failure of the League of Nations to take effective actin was a further important factor in this conflict.

In the medium and long term the invasion along with Mussolini's other imperialist ambitions proved to be disastrous, leading to Italy switching support to the allies towards the end of World War 2 and Mussolini's susequent execution.
