The Stressa Front fell apart because Mussolini of Italy invaded the African nation of Abyssinia in 1935. The Stressa Front was between Britain and France (major nations in the league of nations at the time) but when Mussolini invaded Abyssinia, its prince Haile Selassi appealed to the league and it was clear Italy was the aggressor nation. So the league of nations applied limited economic sanctions on Italy (oil was not included) and Mussolini felt offended and instead joined forces with Hitler.
