Land invaded by Italy, 1935 (9)
I believe the answer is:
abyssinia
'land invaded by italy 1935' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for abyssinia that I've seen before include "Ethiopia's former name" , "Former nation" , "country in Africa" , "Former name of Ethiopia" , "Old name for African country" .)
