Fairly poorly is the simple answer!
The LON did not want to anger Italy, however their invasion went against their policy of collective security, and so they condemned Italy's actions, and imposed a trade ban. However this trade ban did not include fuels, such as petrol and oil. If there was no ban on petrol and oil, Italy could still continue their localised war against Abyssinia.
To try and appease all those involved, the Hoare-Laval Pact was set up in 1935. Within this pact, the French and the British designed a compromise; Abyssinia would be split in two, the wealthiest half given to Italy. However there was a leak of this information to the press, which resulted in uproar amongst the British public, as it appeared Britain and France were surrendering to Italy's aggressive actions.
Italy, following Japan's previous example in the Manchurian Crisis of 1931-1933, left the League. After this major failure, the League was no longer taken seriously.

What was more important to the Leagues failure the Manchurian crisis or the Abyssinian crisis?
the abyssinisn crisis as Mussolini was a agrressive nationlist
Why did the abyssinian crisis strengthen relations between Italy and Germany?
because the league of nations placed sanctions on italy which only caused them to leave and brought them closer to nazi germany.
Which of these weaknesses of the league was the most important the failure of disarmament the abyssinian crisis the manchurian crisis?
I believe that it was the Manchurian crisis, it showed everyone that a strong minded country could overpower the league. Italy took alot of notice of Manchuria and noticed the league could do nothing. This is why Italy did what they did because they knew the league was powerless. Maybe without the Manchurian crisis, Mussolini would not have acted the way that he did. The Manchurian Crisis (1931) I think shows worldwide that the League of Nation cannot really handle tough job and anything involving major countries. It shows how they are weak and ineffective in dealing such tension. Disarmament Conference (1932), well it showed how LON cannot get involve and interfere with. They basically didn't do anything and because of the failure, countries began re-arming . I think Abyssinian Crisis was the climax and the reason was because we see how two powerful country, Britain and France going behind the back of LON and created the Hoare-Laval pact with Mussolini (give 2/3 of Abyssinia to Italy.) It was leaked and people were horrified and disgusted of how they would back stab. I think its the Abyssinian Crisis :)
What did the league do about the abyssinian crisis?
the league talked to Mussolini, whilst he was sending troops into abyssinia. The league didn't want to loose Italy from the league of nations and decided to give part of abyssinia to Italy. However Mussolini wanted all of abyssinia to expand his empire, so instead he ignored the league and invaded abyssinia. Then the league banned weapons sales and put sanctions on rubber and metal. The abyssinian emperor Haile Selassie appealed to the league but the league did nothing, in fact they secretly agreed to give abyssinia to Italy. This was called the Hoare Laval pact.
Did the league of nations impose sanctions on Italy?
yes. the league imposed various sanctions on Italy during the Abyssinian crisis, however these did not include oil. stopping oil trade might have stopped Italy but they could still trade with the us as they were not members of the league( a severe weakness of the league) the Hoare Laval pact also severely undermined the league.
How much damage did the abyssinia crisis cause to the league of nations?
While the League of Nations, Britain and France were dealing with Mussolini (the prime minister of Italy), Hitler was rebuilding Germany's army in the Rhineland. Britain and France were appeasing Mussolini so that they will get Mussolini's support but Mussolini turned to Germany Due to Hitler's repowering, the League collapsed!! The abyssinia crisis was just the loaded trigger of the failure of the League but Hitler's growing power during the abyssinian invasion was what pulled the trigger
