Detailed explanation-1: -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. The crisis is generally regarded as having discredited the league.
Detailed explanation-2: -Italy’s invasion of Abyssinia in 1935 caused a crisis for the League of Nations. League members imposed limited sanctions against Italy and debated at length the imposition of an embargo on oil shipments to Italy, which came to stand as a symbol of the League’s determination to punish the Italian aggressor.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -How did the League of Nations respond to the crisis in Manchuria (1931) and Abyssinia (1935)? Slowly and unproductive. They made poor decisions and it resulted in a nation resigning and secret pacts.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
