USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -In response to Ethiopian appeals, the League of Nations condemned the Italian invasion in 1935 and voted to impose economic sanctions on the aggressor. The sanctions remained ineffective because of general lack of support.

Detailed explanation-2: -The League of Nations ruled against Italy and voted for economic sanctions, but they were never fully applied. Italy ignored the sanctions, quit the League, made special deals with the United Kingdom and France and ultimately annexed and occupied Abyssinia after it had won the Second Italo-Ethiopian War.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 1935 the League of Nations imposed sanctions on Italy in order to make her discontinue her aggression towards Ethiopia. The aim of this work is to assess how effective the additional implementation of an oil and coal embargo against Italy might have been in checking her bellicose policy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why did the League’s economic sanctions fail in the Abyssinian Crisis? The League’s economic sanctions against Italy were ineffective because the trade of some key goods could not be prevented. ❖ Britain didn’t want to sanction its coal exports to Italy as this might cause unemployment for British miners.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cabinet members feared that sanctions might provoke war with Italy and by December, Britain was the only League member not to have imposed oil sanctions against Italy.
