"The Italian pretext for invasion came with the Wal Wal incident which took place little more than a year after Mussolini's above-mentioned talks with De Bono. On 23 November 1934 an Anglo-Ethiopian boundary commission, which had been surveying the frontier between British Somaliland and Ethiopia, arrived at Wal Wal, 100 kilometres within Ethiopia. There they were confronted by an Italian force, which had earlier arrived from Somalia. The British members of the commission protested at the Italian presence, but then withdrew to avoid an "international incident". The Ethiopians on the other hand faced the Italians for about a fortnight, until a shot of indeterminate, but probably Italian, origin, precipitated a clash. The Italians responded by despatching an ultimatum to Ethiopia. They demanded 20,000 in damages, a formal apology, a salute to the Italian flag, and the punishment of the Ethiopian troops involved. These terms, which would have constituted recognition of Italian sovereignty over Wal Wal, were considered unacceptable by the Ethiopian Government. Haile Sellassie therefore sought arbitration in accordance with the Ethio-Italian Treaty of 1928. Mussolini rejected this proposal. The Emperor thereupon took the matter to the League of Nations, which spent the next eleven months in fruitless discussion, during which fascist Italy accelerated its preparations for war."

What factors contributed to the weakening and the decline of medieval Europe?
Medieval Europe cannot be said to have gone 'into decline' at any point. The only major incident to seriously weaken medieval Europe was the outbreak of the Black Death (the plague) in the 14th century, since this carried off about 150 million people in all; depending on which country in Europe you look at, between 20 and 80 percent of the population
What are mummings?
A mumming is a type of folk play, known in many areas of Europe but particularly common in England, Scotland and Ireland, that combines music, dance, and sword fighting in episodes involving the death and revival of a character or characters. (The name derives from a French word meaning masked.) They most probably developed from earlier sword dances, many of which continued to be performed after the appearance of the mummings. The sword dances, in turn, may derive from the folk festivals of agricultural communities; their form suggests descent from a ritual that may have included actual sacrifice. With their central incident of death and revival, the mummings are thought to symbolize the resurrection of the year. Grafted onto the pagan core, which dates back to at least 1000 AD, are elements of Christianity, British history, and mythology

What resulted in the final collapse of constantinople and the byzantine empire?
No single incident did that, apart of course from the siege and fall of the city of Constantinople itself. Over the preceding centuries, Byzantium already had lost practically all of its eastern lands, including Turkey proper and also had lost its Balkan properties. Basically, it had become little more than a city-State consisting of the city of Constantinople, parts of Greece and a few scraps of land outside the city. For many decades it had already been a client State of the Ottoman Empire, paying a large yearly tribute to the Sultan just to be left in peace. Large parts of Constantinople had become uninhabited and little to nothing was left of its former richness. But Sultan Suleyman considered the taking of the city essential for the success of any plans to expand his territories and influence westward into the Balkan region, which would require full control of the Bosporus waterway that he then needed to cross and that Constantinople now controlled.
