Campaign of the Sultanates

The Campaign of the Sultanates refers to when in the mid-1920s, under Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime, the Italian government ordered the full military occupation of the Italian protectorates Majeerteen Sultanate and Sultanate of Hobyo through the Royal Corps of Colonial Troops, which led to armed resistance and rebellions across the country. With the arrival of Governor Cesare Maria De Vecchi on 15 December 1923, things began to change in Italian Somalia; Italy had access to these areas under the successive protection treaties, but direct rule only in some areas, including in the majority of Benadir territory.
