Second Italo-Ethiopian War - Every Day (1930-50)

Published 2020-10-25
After the end of the Mahdist War and First Italo-Ethiopian War, Ethiopia had successfully resisted colonial conquest by European Powers by that point and also launched conquests to create the modern-day borders, becoming a symbol of African resistance, however after the rise of Benito Mussolini, Italy would soon launch a war against Ethiopia and form Italian East Africa, but the resistance would never die with the Arbegnoch waging a large-scale Partisan War/Insurgency against the Italians, eventually succeeding in the long term and alongside the British Empire, liberate Ethiopia, Italian forces would resist up until 1950, but Ethiopia would soon afterwards face a long arguably ongoing period of instability that would shape the nation permanently.

    We were all laughing at the Italians... But it was the Germans who surrendered first
  • @Dan-xt7sv
    I had no idea the Italians held out that long.
  • Great video! The amount of information you always put into your videos impresses me. You deserve to have way more subs! This is true quality.
  • @Cheerios100
    This is the only accurate video on the 2nd Italo-Ethiopian War. All the other videos depict Ethiopia completely surrendering and getting colonized which is historically inaccurate.
  • @vickie213
    It was very interesting the Carlist wars in Spain and the Miguelist in Portugal.
  • @yanxishan6575
    Are you sure that such large areas of Somalia and Somaliland remained under Italian control for that long?
  • @Scenariania
    Everyone to Italy in WW2: hahahhahaha Italy sux Italy in Ethiopia: sad noises
  • Could you give us more informations about that last pocket of italian resistance that lasted until 1950? Thank you
  • as an Italian we're still at war with them, it's just that we're waiting for the pizza to finish cooking.
  • @tommy-er6hh
    Very nice job, an excellent map job! I am especially impressed by your study of irregular resistance and mapping it. Nice list of sources also! but a minor point - colors, you seem to show British empire in Arabia and parts of Ethiopia as light blue - but you show British Somalialand, Sudan and Kenya as changing from the light Blue to Ethiopian dark blue in June of 1940. Does that mean you think Ethiopian forces conquered British Africa? And how come Britain in the inset map is always Ethiopian dark blue, did Ethiopia conquer it also? :-)
