The Italian occupation was definitely an attempt at colonization. We can argue if it was considered temporarily successful or not, but I’m not sure what true colonization is like I’m not sure what a true Scotsman is.


Yeah they definitely tried to colonize Ethiopia then. We're agreeing. They simply failed to stay long enough to convert an occupation into a colonization.


I think that is stretching the definition of colonization too far.

Using the same logic, Western countries tried to colonize Russia in 1919 and Nazi Germany colonized quite a bit of Europe during WWII.
