Description

The aggression and colonial tendencies of the uprising Fascism, which resulted in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, fought between Fascist Italy and Ethiopia from October 1935 to February 1937, was followed by the whole world. On May 5th, 1936, Italian Marshal Pietro Badoglio marched with his troops into Addis Ababa and Mussolini declared Ethiopia a province of the Italian Empire. On 12 May, the Emperor of Ethiopia Haile Selassie gave his famous anti-Fascist speech in the League of Nations.

The author of this detailed illustrated book was a prominent Ottoman / Turkish politician and general Kâzim Karabekir (1882-1948), who retired and dedicated himself to writing after the Turkish War of Independence, where he opposed Kemal Atatürk.
