Re: Operation Steinbock question

In answer to the dig about colonial policies: the war between Britain and Italy was begun by Italy. The aim was the extension of Italian colonial rule. The results were the return of Ethiopia to its own rulers, and the establishment of local rule in Eritrea and Northern African nations such as Libya. In no case did any of these actions lead to an extension of British rule into areas previously, if briefly, ruled by Italy.

If you wish to ask whether the populace wished to be ruled by Italy rather than themselves (or the British), by all means do, but I don't think this is the best forum for such political discussions.
