Italian Troops raid Addis Ababa

Italian troops commence with raids into Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia. After the capture of Addis Ababa by the Italian troops, Benito Mussolini, the Fascist President of Italy remarked: " we have been patient for too long". He thus made clear that the capture of Addis Ababa was revenge for the Ethiopian victory in the Battle of Adowa where Italian forces suffered heavy losses.
