意属东非(意大利語:Africa Orientale Italiana,AOI)是曾位于非洲之角意大利殖民地,于1936年建立,由意属索马里兰意属厄立特里亚意属埃塞俄比亚合并而成[2]

第二次世界大戰期間,意属东非殖民地被英军占领[3],战后,意属索马里兰和厄立特里亚被置于英国管治之下,而埃塞俄比亚则重获国家独立。1949年,意属索马里兰改制为索马里兰托管地英语Trust Territory of Somaliland,由意大利统治至1960年。

领土

[编辑]

1936年,意属索马里兰意属厄立特里亚意属埃塞俄比亚合并为意属东非殖民地。其中,埃塞俄比亚领地是意大利在第二次意大利埃塞俄比亚战争后吞并埃塞俄比亚帝国国土建立的[4]。意大利国王维托里奥·埃马努埃莱三世随后自封为埃塞俄比亚皇帝,但除德国日本外未有国家承认。意属东非领地被分为六个行省:厄立特里亚、索马里兰、阿马拉、盖拉-西达莫、肖亚和哈拉尔,每个行省由一个意大利总督管理,听从意属东非总督管理。

1940年,意军征服英属索马里兰,后将之并入意属东非。但在一年后,英军在东非战役中击溃了意属东非的意军,占领其全境[4]

历史

[编辑]

征服埃塞俄比亚

[编辑]

1935年10月3日,意大利入侵埃塞俄比亚。和四十年前战败的第一次意大利埃塞俄比亚战争不同,意军相比埃军有着压倒性的优势,空军尤甚,因而迅速夺取了胜利。埃皇海尔·塞拉西被迫丢下都城亚的斯亚贝巴乘机逃离,他的埃塞俄比亚皇帝头衔也被意大利国王占为己有[5]。意大利在埃塞俄比亚的胜利大大助长了首相墨索里尼的国际声望,殖民地领袖们皆对其果断行动大加赞美[6][7]

关于意大利在1935年进攻埃塞俄比亚的动机,史学界还处于争论之中。一些意大利历史学家,如弗兰科·卡塔拉诺和乔治·罗沙等,认为这次入侵出于“社会帝国主义”,系因为大萧条严重打击了墨索里尼政权的威望,墨氏希望用一次殖民战争转移国内的注意力[8]。其他史学家,如彼得罗·帕斯托雷利认为这次入侵是意大利建立红海-中东霸权企图的一部分[8]。美国史学家麦格雷戈·诺克斯认为这次入侵的发动兼有内外因,皆为墨索里尼宏大扩张计划的一部分,随之带来的外交威望可以帮助墨索里尼在国内推行更为激进的法西斯主义政策[8]

Second World War and dissolution

[编辑]
East Africa Campaign northern front: Allied advances in 1941.

On 10 June 1940, Italy declared war on Britain and France, which made Italian military forces in Libya a threat to Egypt and those in the Italian East Africa a danger to the British and French territories in the Horn of Africa. Italian belligerence also closed the Mediterranean to Allied merchant ships and endangered British supply routes along the coast of East Africa, the Gulf of Aden, Red Sea and the Suez Canal. (The Kingdom of Egypt remained neutral during World War II, but the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 allowed the British to occupy Egypt and Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.)[9] Egypt, the Suez Canal, French Somaliland and British Somaliland were also vulnerable to invasion, but the Comando Supremo (Italian General Staff) had planned for a war after 1942. In the summer of 1940, Italy was far from ready for a long war or for the occupation of large areas of Africa.[10]

Hostilities began on 13 June 1940, with an Italian air raid on the base of 1 Squadron Southern Rhodesian Air Force (237 (Rhodesia) Squadron RAF) at Wajir in the East Africa Protectorate (Kenya). In August 1940, the protectorate of British Somaliland was occupied by Italian forces and absorbed into Italian East Africa. This occupation lasted around six months. By early 1941, Italian forces had been largely pushed back from Kenya and Sudan. On 6 April 1941, Addis Ababa was occupied by the 11th (African) Division, which received the surrender of the city.[11] The remnants of the Italian forces in the AOI surrendered after the Battle of Gondar in November 1941, except for groups that fought an Italian guerrilla war in Ethiopia against the British until the Armistice of Cassibile (3 September 1943) ended hostilities between Italy and the Allies.[來源請求]

In January 1942, with the final official surrender of the Italians, the British, under American pressure, signed an interim Anglo-Ethiopian Agreement with Selassie, acknowledging Ethiopian sovereignty. Makonnen Endelkachew was named as Prime Minister and on 19 December 1944, the final Anglo-Ethiopian Agreement was signed. Eritrea was placed under British military administration for the duration, and in 1950, it became part of Ethiopia. After 1945, Britain controlled both Somalilands, as protectorates. In November 1949, during the Potsdam Conference, the United Nations granted Italy trusteeship of Italian Somaliland under close supervision, on condition that Somalia achieve independence within ten years.[12] British Somaliland became independent on 26 June 1960 as the State of Somaliland, the Trust Territory of Somalia (ex-Italian Somaliland) became independent on 1 July 1960 and the territories united as the Somali Republic.[13]

Colonial administration

The colony was administered by a Viceroy of Ethiopia and Governor General of Italian East Africa, appointed by the Italian monarch. The dominion was further divided for administrative purposes into six Governorates and forty Commissionerships.[來源請求]

Economic development

[编辑]

Fascist colonial policy in Italian East Africa had a divide and conquer characteristic.

In order to weaken the Orthodox Christian Amhara people who had run Ethiopia in the past, territory claimed by Eritrean Tigray-Tigrinyas and Somalis was given to the Eritrea Governorate and Somalia Governorate.[14] Reconstruction efforts after the war in 1936 were partially focused on benefiting the Muslim peoples in the colony at the expense of the Amhara to strengthen support by Muslims for the Italian colony.[14]

Italy's Fascist regime encouraged Italian peasants to colonize Ethiopia by setting up farms and small manufacturing businesses.[14] However, few Italians came to the Ethiopian colony, with most going to Eritrea and Somalia. While Italian Eritrea enjoyed some degree of development, supported by nearly 80,000 Italian colonists,[15] by 1940 only 3,200 farmers had arrived in Ethiopia, less than ten percent of the Fascist regime's goal.[16] Continued insurgency by native Ethiopians, lack of natural resources, rough terrain, and uncertainty of political and military conditions discouraged development and settlement in the countryside.[16]

The Italians invested substantively in Ethiopian infrastructure development. They created the "imperial road" between Addis Abeba and Massaua, the Addis Abeba - Mogadishu and the Addis Abeba - Assab.[17] 900 km of railways were reconstructed or initiated (like the railway between Addis Abeba and Assab), dams and hydroelectric plants were built, and many public and private companies were established in the underdeveloped country. The most important were: "Compagnie per il cotone d'Etiopia" (Cotton industry); "Cementerie d'Etiopia" (Cement industry); "Compagnia etiopica mineraria" (Minerals industry); "Imprese elettriche d'Etiopia" (Electricity industry); "Compagnia etiopica degli esplosivi" (Armament industry); "Trasporti automobilistici (Citao)" (Mechanic & Transport industry).

Italians even created new airports and in 1936 started the worldwide famous Linea dell'Impero, a flight connecting Addis Abeba to Rome. The line was opened after the Italian conquest of Ethiopia and was followed by the first air links with the Italian colonies in Africa Orientale Italiana (Italian East Africa), which began in a pioneering way since 1934. The route was enlarged to 6,379 km and initially joined Rome with Addis Ababa via Syracuse, Benghazi, Cairo, Wadi Halfa, Khartoum, Kassala, Asmara, Dire Dawa.[18] There was a change of aircraft in Benghazi (or sometimes in Tripoli). The route was carried out in three and a half days of daytime flight and the frequency was four flights per week in both directions. Later from Addis Ababa there were three flights a week that continued to Mogadishu, capital of Italian Somalia.

The most important railway line in the African colonies of the Kingdom of Italy, the Djibouti-Addis Ababa long 784 km, was acquired following the conquest of the Ethiopian Empire by the Italians in 1936. The route was served until 1935 by steam trains that took about 36 hours to do the total trip between the capital of Ethiopia and the port of Djibouti. Following the Italian conquest was obtained in 1938 the increase of speed for the trains with the introduction of four railcars high capacity "type 038" derived from the model Fiat ALn56.[19]

These diesel trains were able to reach 70 km/h and so the time travel was cut in half to just 18 hours: they were used until the mid 1960s.[20] At the main stations there were some bus connections to the other cities of Italian Ethiopia not served by the railway.[21] Additionally, near the Addis Ababa station was created a special unit against fire, that was the only one in all Africa.[22]

However Ethiopia and Africa Orientale Italiana (AOI) proved to be extremely expensive to maintain, as the budget for the fiscal year 1936-37 had been set at 19.136 billion lira to create the necessary infrastructure for the colony.[14] At the time, Italy's entire yearly revenue was only 18.581 billion lira.[14]

The architects of the Fascist regime had drafted grandiose urbanistic projects for the enlargement of Addis Ababa, in order to build a state-of-the-art capital of the Africa Orientale Italiana, but these architectural plans -like all the other developments- were stopped by World War II.[23]

Demographics

[编辑]
Administrative subdivision of Italian East Africa.

In 1939, there were 165,267 Italian citizens in the Italian East Africa, the majority of them concentrated around the main urban centres of Asmara, Addis Ababa and Mogadishu. The total population was estimated around 12.1 million, with a density of just over 6.9名居民每平方公里(18名居民每平方英里). The distribution of population was, however, very uneven. Eritrea, with an area of 230,000 km2(90,000 sq mi), had a population estimated in about 1.5 million, with a population density of 6.4/km2(16.7/sq mi); Ethiopia with an area of 790,000 km2(305,000 sq mi) and a population of some 9.5 million, had a resulting density of 12/km2(31/sq mi); sparsely populated Italian Somaliland finally, with an area of 700,000 km2(271,000 sq mi) and a population of just 1.1 million, had a very low density of 1.5/km2(4/sq mi).[24]

Atrocities against the Ethiopian population

[编辑]

In February 1937, following an assassination attempt on Italian East Africa's Viceroy, Marshal Rodolfo Graziani, Italian soldiers raided the famous Ethiopian monastery Debre Libanos, where the plotters had taken refuge, and executed the monks and nuns.[14] Afterwards, Italian soldiers destroyed native settlements in Addis Ababa, which resulted in 30,000 Ethiopians being killed and their homes left burned to the ground.[14][25] The brutal massacre has come to be known as Yekatit 12.[來源請求]

After the massacres, Graziani became known as "the Butcher of Ethiopia".[26] He was subsequently removed by Mussolini and replaced by Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta, who followed a more conciliatory policy towards the natives, obtaining a limited success in pacifying Ethiopia.[27]
