In October 1935, Italy attack Abyssinia after a clash between Italian and Abyssinian troops after the oasis of Walwal. The Abyssinian army which consisted mostly of infantry (foot soldiers) and cavalry (soldiers on horseback), was no match for their Italians, who used modern weapons, including tanks, planes, poison gas. The only hope for Emperor Haile Selassie of Abyssinia seemed to lie in the size of his country, the state of the roads and an appeal to the League of Nations.
