This book provides a narrative history of Italian colonialism from
Italian unification in the 1860s to the first decade of the
twentieth century; that is, it details Italy's imperialism in the
years of the Scramble for Africa. It deals with the factors that
drove Italy to search for territory in Africa in the 1870s and
1880s and describes the reasoning behind the trajectories adopted
and objectives pursued. The events that brought Italy to open
conflict with the Ethiopian Empire culminating in the Italian
defeat at Adowa in March 1896 are central to the book. However its
scope is much broader, as it considers the establishment of Italian
power in Eritrea as well as Somalia before and after the defeat. By
telling its history, it explains why Italy emerged irresolute and
humiliated in this, its first thrust into Africa, yet nonetheless
determined to pursue expansion in the future. The seeds for the
conquest of Libya in 1911 and Ethiopia in 1935 had been sown.
