If you are desperate for army xp either because you are not allowed to drag out the war with Ethiopia or accidentally crushed them quickly. Italy really struggles to produce enough men to garrison Ethiopia so not having to guard it allows you more men and time to sweep the med and make your crucial naval invasions. * Also by puppeting ethiopia and releasing somalia and eritrea you can take the divisions they produce but not call them into the war meaning that you don't have to defend them and get some much needed divisions for invasions and defense.

Step 4: Depending on the ruleset you may or may not be able to puppet ethiopia if you are able to do so I would strongly recommend this as getting 15 or so 20 width infantry divisions is better than getting one civ after like 3 years of compliance gain. Step 3: once you have skipped the focus you may take out ethiopia at your leisure or on the servers ruleset time-frame(note that you get a nice +10% war support and stability bonus when you triumph) Step 2: Let the Ethiopians take Eritrea(northern part) and most of Somalia and you should have the option to click "bypass" on the focus. Step 1: take all of your divisions facing Ethiopia and draw a fall back line in the lowest part of Somalia assigning all of your units to it.

Here is how to skip it and save yourself time so that you can get to the much more valuable focuses sooner. It is not necessary to take the "Ethiopian war Logistics" focus and bypassing it is of great benefit. While Ethiopia is a good opportunity to gain some army xp and gain quite a nice puppet and position in Africa.

Now as you likely know Italy starts the game at war with Ethiopia this is an excellent opportunity to gain some army experience that is necessary to upgrade your main divisions to 20 widths.
