This is a somewhat obscure war, mostly because people remember the first (way less bloody) one in which the Ethiopians won. This time it was a full blown war, not just a garrison, and the Ethiopian emperor ordered every capable of fighting man to go and fight a war that they couldn't possibly win. And by "every fighting capable man" it means literally everyone. Only very old people, children, pregnant women and disabled were saved from being drafted. They were forced to fight by any means necessary. The result is that absurd number of dead Ethiopians... The Italian rule didn't last long at all, and part of the colonization effort was lost due to the fact that WW2 started and Ethiopia fell into British hands afterwards Alongside the Italians, there were high numbers of Somali veterans and Eritrean troops helping. The Ethiopians were left alone on the field, but Nazi Germany supplied them with weapons

Found this as "Meme where Italy doesn't suck for once". I never thought I'd say this, but thanks a lot, Reddit. Thanks for remembering that there are other wars other than WW2

tmw there are actual Austro-Hungarian nationalists roaming around on the Internet... Well, anyway, the soldier in the middle is feeding that Austrian """eagle""" to the Roman she-wolf that took care of Romolus and Remus... In case you didn't get the symbolism going on. And this is despite even the regular Roman Eagle mogs that monstrosity that the Austrians chose as their animal... Lmao get that skinny ugly black chicken outta here!

There were lots of them, a good number of the invasion force was composed by Africans. If you search up videos on this war, you'll see truckloads of them.
Eritrean soldiers in particular were praised for their excellent skills in combat, they are everywhere being portrayed along Italians even in the newspaper arts, with those iconic red tall hats

You never see these guys in any videogame or movie because they fought against other Africans, and when they were deployed to fight against whites, it was against the British, and that doesn't look good for the winners.
