| dc.description.abstract | The Italian occupation of Ethiopia holds a significant place in the history of the country. Beth Ethiopian and foreign historians have written extensively on the subject. The theme of Italian occupation has also inspired Ethiopian novelists and playwrights. Their novels and plays try to show the causes of the war, the conduct of the war, its political, social, economic and cultural effects, and the patriotic resistance. Some of these literary works also deal with the prevalent situation immediately after the liberation of the country. After identifying the major prenccupations of the works dealing with the theme of Italian occupation this study also attempts to show the differences in the authors' interpretations of some of the issues and events of the war. All the authors cite avenging the defeat at the battle of Adowa as one of the causes of the Italian invasion of Ethiopia. Ar'aya underlines Italian economic interest as the major reason for the aggression; Endgwgtt§c~ g&rr§~6 gives Italy's colenial ambition as the main reason. Sgr§-Koloniyalist mentie~s the Fascist Party's policy as an immediate cause of the war. In the treatment of the conduct of the war the majority of the works concentrate on the battle of May(;gw. Bassa Qetaw and Ar'aya portray the conduct of the war at the battle of Sire, Tembien and Amba'radem | en_US |
