Colonial Dreams to Fascist Empire: Italian Aggression, Ethiopian Resistance in the 19th & 20th Centuries
Despite the significance and international impact of the Second Italo-Ethiopian War of 1935–37 in the lead-up to World War II, its history is not widely known. In this talk, Dr. David B. Spielman will examine the historical context behind the Second Italian War of Aggression, and Italy’s subsequent occupation of Ethiopia from 1935 to 1941. In particular, he will address the history of Italian colonialism in the Horn of Africa and Ethiopian anti-colonial and anti-facist resistance.
