British and French and also Mussolini signed an agreement, Stresa Pact
Mussolini was preparing for a full-scale invasion of Abyssinia.
British and French were desperate to keep good relations with Mussolini because they did not take the situation of Mussolini invading Abyssinia seriously
The ballot was taken in the LOL- The majority of British people wanted to use the military force to defend Abyssinia
British Foreign Minister, Hoare, made a speech- He was telling people that they should stop Italy from attacking Abyssinia by putting enough armies and security
A committe reported to the league that neither side can't be done for the Wal-Wal incident; League planned to give Mussolini some of Abyssinia, but Mussolini rejected.
Mussolini's army launched a full-scale invasion of Abyssinia <--- used tanks, aeroplanes and poison gas
League was ideally placed to act, because it was a large powerful state (Italy) attacking a smaller one (Abyssinia)
The league banned all imports from Italy and also banned on arms sales, loans to italy, exports to Italy, while allowing them to Abyssinia
However, banning the coal exports to Italy was a problem, because 30,000 Britain coal miners were about to lose their jobs
