Final answer:
Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935 to expand its empire, employing air power and poison gas to defeat Ethiopian resistance.
Explanation:
Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935 to expand its empire, not Somalia, Eritrea, or Kenya.

Using air power and poison gas, Italy's military defeated Ethiopian resistance by the end of 1936.
