Answer 1

The initial cause of the war (started on Oct.3rd,1935 withouy any declaration of War) was the desire for an Italian Empire, reminiscent of the Roman Empire, that Benito Mussolini (the fascist dictator of Italy) had since long held in his mind.
It was also an attempt to belong colonial possessions in Africa, like many other European Nations (Germany, Britain, France, Portugal, Spain, ect.).
Ethiopia was a prime candidate of this expansionist goal for several reasons. It was one of the few African nations that wasn't a European colony, and it would serve to unify the Italian-held Eritrea to the north-west and Italian Somaliland to the east. It was considered to be militarily weak, and rich in resources. It has been suggested that the Italians attacked Ethiopia to "reclaim" the country and to avenge their defeat during the First Italo-Abyssinian War in 1896.The first 3 years of the War passed with Italians more and more steady on the territory. Early in 1938 the Emperor of Ethiopia,from his exile in Britain, sought to gain the support of the Western democracies for his cause but had little success,at least until Italy entered World War II on the side of Germany in June 1940. Thereafter, Britain and the Emperor started to cooperate with Ethiopian and other local forces in a campaign to dislodge the Italians from Ethiopia and British Somaliland, which the Italians had seized in August 1940, and to resist the Italian invasion of Sudan. Haile Selassie proceeded immediately to Khartoum, where he established closer connections with both the British headquarters and the resistance forces within Ethiopia.
Italian East Africa proved to be a short-lived state, as Ethiopia was liberated from Italian control in the subsequent East African Campaign in 1941.Therefore if we must respect the history Italian was not defeated by Ethiopians but by their coalition with Britishs.

Answer 2

The Italian leader Mussolini was trying to impress Hitler and sent his army into Ethiopia. The Ethiopians had spears against tanks and heavy artillery. It was no contest.
