When Italy invaded Ethiopia, the League of Nations, tried to penalize Italy by blocking trade to and from the country of Italy. This type of blockade is known as a trade embargo.

The League of Nations' response to Italian aggression in 1935 was ineffective. Instead of taking strong action to deter Italy's invasion of Ethiopia, the League imposed economic sanctions that were ultimately not enforced by its member states. This failure undermined the League's credibility and signaled its inability to effectively address acts of aggression by its member states.
the League placed some economic sanctions on Italy but took no real action.
When US President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked the Senate to pass a resolution authorizing the President, at his discretion, to embargo arms shipments to aggressor nations, the Senate decided to amend the requested resolution. The Senate believed that if a president embargoed arms to an aggressor nation, it might involve the US in a war. The Senate therefore amended the resolution to embargo all nations should a dispute arise among both friendly and aggressive nations. This was a blow to his pledge to help the League of Nations.
Besides condemning the actions of Italy in invading Ethiopia, the League of Nations called for a trade embargo. This proved to be just as ineffective as their condemnation.
