Abstract: | Despite the fact that Italian authorities are reluctant to open their archives, it is possible today to reconstruct partially some of the bitter episodes vis-à-vis chemical warfare in Ethiopia. The article assesses the reasons for the Italian use of chemical warfare, the extent to which it was used, the reaction of the Ethiopians, and the influence of the chemical warfare on the outcome of the war.
