Overview:
At dawn on 3 October 1935, 100,000 Italian troops crossed the northern frontier of Ethiopia in three large columns. "We have been patient for 40 years," Mussolini announced to the vast crowd assembled in the Piazza Venezia. "Now, we too want our place in the sun." The Italians met no resistance, as Haile Selassie wanted no doubt as to who was the aggressor, and the Ethiopian armies pulled back 30 kilometers. On the second day of the march, however, it was discovered that Ras Seyum, commander of the Army of Tigre, had sent several groups into the "neutral zone" against the Emperor's wishes. One of these troops, numbering some 500 men under the command of Dejaz Gebriet, had established itself on Amba Augher, which lay directly in the path of Pitzio Biroli's advancing Eritrean Army Corps.Attacker: Italian / Eritrean (Elements of the 2nd and 4th Askari (Eritrean) Brigades)
