The reflection of Italy's occupation of Abyssinia on Turkish public opinion

Italy, which could not find what it hoped for despite being among the Entente states at the end of the First World War and thought that it was deceived by Britain and France and that it was not given what it deserved, began to pursue its imperialist ambitions and pursue an aggressive foreign policy. Italy, which accepted itself as the heir of the Roman Empire, began to follow aggressive and expansionist policies with the power of Benito Mussolini and invaded Abyssinia, an independent state and member of the League of Nations. The invasion of Abyssinia was also an important development in terms of the course of Turkish-Italian relations. From Lausanne to the end of the 1930s, Italy was the country where Turkey gave the most weight in foreign policy. While relations with Italy never continued in the same order, Mussolini's discourses and actions made Turkey feel threatened. In the first part, the course of Turkish-Italian relations in the period from the Lausanne peace treaty to 1935 was examined. In the second part, Italy's relations with Abyssinia and the process leading to the war are discussed, while in the third part, the attitude of the Society of Miletus towards the invasion of Abyssinia and the effect of the occupation on Turkey are examined and a conclusion is tried to be reached.
