On this day, 90 years ago, on October 3, 1935 (September 6, 1935, the Ethiopian Patriotic War against Italy broke out. At the end of 1935, Mussolini's troops were estimated to be around 650,000. On October 3, 1935, Italy launched a war of aggression against Ethiopia, and Ethiopia's Patriotic War against Italy broke out. In order to get rid of the difficult situation caused by the 1929 world economic crisis, fascist Italy decided to invade Ethiopia to control the waterway between Britain and France from the Red Sea to India and participate in the competition among the great powers. On December 5, 1934, Italian troops launched an attack on Egyptian troops in the Wall region from Italian Somalia. On October 3, 1935, Italy launched a full-scale offensive after long preparations. The Ethiopian government calls on its citizens to defend the motherland. The Patriotic War against Italy began. Italy has a modern equipped army of 300,000 people in East Africa. Although the total number of Ethiopian Emperor's Guard and the army of various feudal lords is 350,000, only 10,000 are well-trained. The Italian army attacked in three directions. The Italian army on the northern side, led by General De Bono, Italian Governor of East Africa, attacked Tigray Province from Eritrea. On October 6, it occupied Adua, broke through the northern Egyptian defense line, and occupied Makare, the capital of Tigray Province, on November 8. The Eastern Italian army attacking from Assab made little progress despite the tenacious resistance of the Egyptian army. The Italian Army on the South Side, led by Graziani, attacked the Ogaden from Italian Somalia and occupied Gorahi on November 8. Since then, the war has reached a deadlock. The Egyptian army thwarted the Italian army's attempt to win quickly. The League of Nations declared Italy an aggressor country on October 7, 1935, but did not include the strategic material oil, which Italy urgently needed, in the sanctions. Britain and France still opened the Suez Canal to Italy. On March 31, 1936, the main force of the Egyptian army was defeated in Meqiu near Lake Asanj. On May 3, Selassie I went into exile in Britain. On May 5, Italian troops occupied Addis Ababa. On May 9, it announced the annexation of Ethiopia and its annexation into the Italian East African colonies. Since then, Ethiopia's War of Resistance entered the stage of guerrilla warfare. In the summer of 1937, leaders of the Anti-Japanese Army established a "Unity and Cooperation Committee" in Ambo, near the capital, to elect a unified command and political leadership. By 1939, the guerrillas had grown to 400,000 people and controlled most of the country. In January 1941, Selassie led his troops back from Sudan. The patriots responded and their ranks expanded rapidly. On April 6, British and Egyptian troops liberated Addis Ababa. On May 5, Selassie I entered the capital, Ethiopia regained its country, and the Patriotic War against Italy was won. The entire strength of the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie's modern Italian army, equipped with tanks, air power and poison gas, was mobilized to attack the ill-equipped Ethiopian tribal fighters
