Line 11: − − ===The Ethiopian War=== − − In 1935, [[fascist]] [[Italy]] under the leadership of [[Mussolini]] invaded [[Ethiopia]], the only uncolonized nation in [[Africa]] and a member state of the [[League of Nations]]. While Ethiopian Emperor [[Haile Selassie]] tried to get the League to help his country, his pleas in [[Geneva]] went unheard. Italy's colonial occupation of Ethiopia was marked by the aerial bombardment and use of poison gas against civilian populations.

===1930s===
In the early 1930 Germany was in a permanent political and constitutional crisis, caused by rising unemployment during the [[Great Depression]]. Germany was hit harder than most other countries. The [[National Socialism|National Socialists]], known as the Hitler movement, promised to restore national pride and stature, by disbanding the [[Versailles Treaty]], and reverting the injustices imposed onto Germany on its international enemies. It was common to blame the "International Jewry" for the problems that were afflicting Germany. Part of this ideology was that Germany deserved to be larger, and that in order to survive, it would have to expand its "vital space" (''Lebensraum'') Eastwards, through political pressure and military conquest.
