EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and chaos of the Italian bombing of an Ethiopian airbase in 1936. The image is a poignant reminder of the brutal Italian invasion of Ethiopia, which marked the last major European colonial conquest in Africa. In the foreground, a Italian Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero bomber, with its distinctive twin engines and menacing silhouette, releases a bomb over the Ethiopian airbase. Smoke rises from the ground below, indicating the impact of the explosion. Italian soldiers and ground crew, dressed in military uniforms and helmets, stand at the ready, watching the bombing with intense focus. The backdrop of the photograph is the vast, arid Ethiopian landscape, with its rugged terrain and endless expanse of sky. The sun casts long shadows over the scene, adding to the sense of drama and urgency. The Italian invasion of Ethiopia, also known as the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, began in October 1935 and lasted until May 1936. The Italian dictator Benito Mussolini sought to expand his empire in Africa and assert Italian dominance on the continent. The invasion was met with fierce resistance from the Ethiopian army and people, who were determined to defend their sovereignty. The bombing of the Ethiopian airbase was a significant moment in the conflict, as it allowed the Italians to gain control of the air and gain a strategic advantage. The Italian forces ultimately succeeded in conquering Ethiopia, but the cost was high, with estimates suggesting that up to one million Ethiopians died as a result of the invasion. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the brutal realities of war and the human cost of colonial expansion. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Ethiopian people, who refused to surrender despite the overwhelming odds against them.
