| THE ETHIOPIAN CRISIS (See 1934, July). The Italian invasion of Ethiopia began on Oct. 3 and was condemned by the League of Nations. The League voted to impose sanctions on Italy (Oct. 11). The sanctions had little impact, especially since the states could not agree to apply the oil sanction (February 1936). Italian forces occupied Addis Ababa (May), and Ethiopian resistance collapsed. | 4 |
