Here are the sources used for my digital storytelling project!
This is a full documentary entirely comprised of real footage from Italy and Ethiopia during the war. It explains the history behind the Italian and Ethiopian relations, and then shows footage from the build-up of the war, all the way to it's horrific ending.
This book has detailed information about Sulfur Mustard, it's origins, symptoms, and treatment, as well as lots and lots of big sciencey terms.
This book illuminates the war from a different perspective: that of humanitarian workers in Ethiopia. It details the ruthlessness of the Italian armies as they bomb Red Cross hospitals, and drench the countryside in poison gas.
In this speech, given after Ethiopia has suffered great losses and can no longer continue to fight, the Emperor (now in exile) appears to the League of Nations and condemns Italian actions, and criticizes the rest of the world for allowing it to happen. It was his hope that the League would not recognize Italy's conquest, and would aid the Ethiopian resistance financially, but neither of those things happened.
This book is actually about Lewisite, another chemical weapon, but does have information about Mustard Gas and it's use in Ethiopia.
This book explores the relationships between Italy, Ethiopia, and the ever-less helpful League of Nations, that failed to control members of the League, at great cost to the Ethiopian people.
This footage shows some of the aerial bombing performed by Italian forces against the Ethiopian armies and villages.
