Benito Mussolini, the Italian fascist dictator, used the Italian Army to invade Ethiopia starting on October 3, 1935. The Italians invaded from their colonies in Eritrea & Italian Somaliland. The Ethiopians were defeated by May 1936, and Ethiopia was annexed into the new Italian colony of East Africa.

Hitler & Germany were not involved in the invasion.
