DBWI: Ethiopia conquered by Italy

Ethiopia is that one country nobody could conquer. From the 20th century onwards only Italy tried and failed miserably, with Mussolini losing popularity among the military. Later when Italy joined Germany in WWII Ethiopia aided the British in their attacks on Italian East Africa.

What if Italy succeeded conquering Ethiopia? Would it prevent the decline of Colonialism? Would Mussolini have even more support in Italy like Hitler had in Germany?
 
Italy is probably not a monarchy today. Ever since Ethiopia it was apparent to Victor Emmanuel III that Mussolini was an incompetent leader. So if he wins in Ethiopia I could see the king continuing to support him as leader.

Italy did conquer Ethiopia, they couldn't hold it though.
