Description:
This recording illustrates the repertoire of songs written in reaction to the economic sanctions imposed by the League of Nations against Italy following its invasion of Ethiopia in late 1935. These often satirical songs express the Fascist regime's resentment of the world's great powers, such as France and Germany, which, unlike Italy, each possessed a vast colonial empire. As pure propaganda songs, they also asserted Fascist Italy's ability to overcome sanctions, its legitimacy in acquiring a colonial empire through war, and thereby occupying the rank of great international power it believed it should.
