About this Item

Per Grazia di Dio e per Volont� della Nazione Re d'Italia, Imperatore d'Etiopia ("By the Grace of God and the Will of the Nation, King of Italy, Emperor of Ethiopia"). A 4-page holograph war document, dated 1936, signed by King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy, Benito Mussolini, and the Italian Secretary of War. 4to. Notably, the document refers to Vittorio Emanuele as both King of Italy and Emperor of Ethiopia, a title claimed following Italy's controversial invasion of Ethiopia. Seeking to forge a new Roman Empire, Mussolini expected a swift conquest, but the Second Italo-Ethiopian War (1935-1937) became a brutal and prolonged conflict. Ethiopia's heroic resistance under Emperor Haile Selassie turned it into a cause c�l�bre across Europe. Some historians regard the war as the first battle of World War II, as it highlighted the League of Nations' inability to halt aggression, ultimately contributing to its failure. The document details officers' promotions, transfers of authority, and military administration, offering valuable insight into Italy's war operations. An important and historically significant artifact, bridging both African and WWII history. PLEASE NOTE that all our First Editions are also First Printings, unless we specifically note otherwise. All our dust jackets are protected in clear mylar covers. Seller Inventory # 51146
