Italo-Abyssinian War

Italo-Abyssinian War

Two conflicts between Italy and Ethiopia (called "Abyssinia" by Europeans at the time) are known as the Italo-Abyssinian War:

* The First Italo-Abyssinian War of 1889–1896 resulted in a victory for the Ethiopians.
* The Second Italo-Abyssinian War of 1935–1936 resulted in an Italian victory and the short-lived state of Italian East Africa.
