Ethiopia at the time was ruled by Emperor Haile Selassie in 1932. Ethiopia had valuable exports and at the time they were also forming a modern army with the help of several European powers, but was purchased with their own money. This military army was small to European standards, but not to the Italians, it really stressed them out. Due to their holding in Somalia France, seeking to have the Italians harmlessly expend their aggressive energy, gave the green light to an attack on Ethiopia in 1935, in exchange for concessions regarding Tunisia.
