Best Answer

Hitler didn't want Abyssinia: Mussolini wanted it. During the Italian invasion of Abyssinia, while the European attention was diverted, Hitler took advantage and reoccupied the demilitarised area called Rhineland. This happened in 1936. With this action Hitler broke both the Treaty of Versailles and the Lacarno pact.
