The Abyssinian Crisis By Jonathan Revees and Kyle Ginn!
The Start The Abyssinian crisis started becuase Africa was a sought-after Country, everyone wanted a piece of it. The fact that it was extremely defensless,compared to devloped countries made this prospect even more tempting . Countries who were after this land were European and included such powers as Britain and France. The most important and useful places were taken over, leaving the most useless places unoccupied.
Where is Abyssinia?
Why it's there of course! It is in Africa, next to Etheopia. The north is very fertile and rich, however the south is uninhabited and useless.
Invading Abyssinia • In December of 1934, there were problems about the border between Absyssinia and the Italian Somilila --> • Because of this Haile Selassie, the emperor of Abyssinia, asked the League Of Nations asked for help. • In July 1935, the League banned the sale of weapons to either side. • In October the same year, the League's committee stated that they thought that Italy should own some land in Abyssinia. • Instead, Mussolini sent his 100,000 strong army to invade Abyssinia. -->
Britain And France's Roles • Because of Italy's invasion, the League Of Nations asked France and Britain for the use of their army. • Because they didn't want to do this, they both got involved in the Hoare-Laval pact. • The Hoare-Laval Pact made it so that they didn't have anything to do with what Mussolini was doing in Abyssinia.
How the League Responded After attempting to get Britain and France to offer military help, and failing, the League did nothing Because of this, by May 1936, Italy had invaded all of Abyssinia.
