When Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia stated, "It is us today; I will be you tomorrow," he emphasized the interconnectedness of humanity and the shared experiences of struggle and triumph. This phrase reflects the idea that today's leaders and individuals will eventually become tomorrow's subjects or followers, highlighting the cyclical nature of power and influence. It serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy and solidarity among people across generations.
Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, was advising the League of Nations to stop Mussolini. Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935 and occupied the country, using chemical weapons in addition to modern armaments. Forced into exile, Selassie warned of the ambitions of Italy and the Axis, after the League of Nations failed to intervene in Ethiopia.

When Benito Mussolini attacked Ethiopia in 1935, the Ethiopians were almost helpless to respond. When Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Selassie appealed to the League of Nations for support, not one nation volunteered any help, making a mockery of the League's entire purpose of existence (collective security). If no one was willing to help Ethiopia, then no one would come to the defense of another nation if it too is set upon by fascist aggressors. The weakness projected by the League would only embolden the dictators. Selassie predicted this would be the fate of any number of European nations when the fascists targeted them: sacrificed, left alone to the enemy in order to preserve a meaningless peace. As the events in Europe concerning Austria and Czechoslovakia later showed, he was right.
