Abstract
most destructive and dangerous homicide and atrocities committed against Africans in view of the previous disappointment and defeat registered during the late 19th Century in the first Italo-Ethiopan War of 1895-1896 to the famous Yekatit 12 Affairs of 1937 caused by Marshall Rodolfo Graziani during the first half of the 20th Century. This is very important because a country which claimed to be the Holy Land of the Catholic Church with its international aggressive leaders at the time allowed their colonial diplomatic agents to massacred almost 30,000 Africans in Ethiopia during the 1930s with house burnt to ashes. What have the Italian been thinking of this atrocities and all along other pre-colonial and colonial crimes against humanity? It is true that Italian Fascism and Nazism of Germany committed terrible crimes against humanity in the face of the First and Second World Wars of 1914-18 and 1939-45 respectively. The scrutiny of specialized sources pertaining to this question urged us to use a historical analytical approach to present our argument and the realities of appeasement policy developed by the British and French which granted much opening to such human slaughtering of the 20th Century by frequently yielding to the demands of the aggressors and aggressive statesmen of the 1920s and 1930s whose end results were the two major global wars fought in the World history. In fact, international relations, international affairs, world affairs and international politics become more interesting when going through any study concerning the Italian Benito Mussolini and German Adolf Hitler in the context of international anarchy, aggression and mass killings with references to the blames and war guilt clauses of the Paris Peace Settlement of 1919 and its aftermaths with much bloodshed in the colonial territories for the Italian National Prestige and Aggrandizements in the Overseas Colonies (INPAOC) located in East Africa. Therefore, an attempt of national prestige and consolidation of 3Gs ended up GSA in their quests for 3Es.
