History
[edit ]
Diplomatic relations between Italy and Yemen began on September 2, 1926, when the Italo-Yemeni Treaty was signed.[3] This made Italy the first country formally to recognize Yemen's independence.[4] This treaty granted Italy, then ruled by Benito Mussolini, control over the east coast of the Red Sea.
As part of Italian imperialism under fascism have some plans to conquer or at least transform Yemen in a Client state, as Mussolini wanted the Red Sea to be the new "Mare Nostrum" of the Italian Empire. So, it was very important that Southern Arabian territories (like the Kingdom of Yemen and British Aden) were integrated into Italy's Sphere of influence.[5] [6] In 1934, Italians from Colonial Eritrea planned to conquer the Yemeni city of Mokha on the coast of the Red Sea, but they retired due to local resistance.[7]
