Detailed explanation-1: -Emperor Haile Selassie, who was in Geneva at the time, went to the Assembly and asked for help, but to no avail; the League refused to act and most member countries recognized the Italian conquest.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The late Emperor of Ethiopia, His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I (1892-1975), may be known for his emotionally charged appeal to the League of Nations in June 1936, but his legacy goes far beyond this one speech.
Detailed explanation-4: -During this march to war, the Abyssinian leader, Haile Selassie, took his case to the League of Nations in the hope of receiving assistance from them. The crisis can be divided in a number of phases. During phase one from January 1935 and October 1935, Mussolini prepared for invasion of Abyssinia.
