Italy, but the sanctions did not affect the outcome.
He wanted the League of Nations to be set up to prevent another World War. The League was started, but, even though the USA did not officially get into it, it failed when the Japanese invaded China, and the League of Nations could not do anything about it. Then Italy attacked Ethiopia, and Germany kept making more and more demand upon the other nations until it invaded Poland on September 1 1939 and WWII started. The League of Nations without any power to back it up was just a lot of talk that Japan, Italy, and Germany paid no attention to.
Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, was advising the League of Nations to stop Mussolini. Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935 and occupied the country, using chemical weapons in addition to modern armaments.

When Benito Mussolini attacked Ethiopia in 1935, the Ethiopians were almost helpless to respond. When Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Selassie appealed to the League of Nations for support, not one nation volunteered any help, making a mockery of the League's entire purpose of existence (collective security). If no one was willing to help Ethiopia, then no one would come to the defense of another nation if it too is set upon by fascist aggressors. The weakness projected by the League would only embolden the dictators. Selassie predicted this would be the fate of any number of European nations when the fascists targeted them: sacrificed, left alone to the enemy in order to preserve a meaningless peace. As the events in Europe concerning Austria and Czechoslovakia later showed, he was right.
