How did the hoare-laval pact cause damage to the league?
because it was the first real flaw of the league of nations when it allowed big boy benito to invade abyssinia
Was Pierre laval as much of a fascist as most historians make out?
there is no simple answer to this question. he may have left the left wing party which allowed for his first election victory of 1914 in 1920, became a 'socialist of the heart' as he describes himself in his unpublished diary. this was written while laval was awaiting trial in 1945 for treason. but, the fact that he left his left wing roots could have something to do with the fact that moscow was dictating the policies of the communist party, to a substantial effect and french people have had a long tradition of resisting outsiders coming in and dictating anything to them. even the pope has had some difficulty here with the members of the gaullic church and the papacy was moved to France for a time. all that aside, laval certainly did the dirty work for the vichy government. he met with abetz, von ribbentrop and Hitler. he attempted to do a deal with mussolinni in 1935 with the hoare-laval pact/ fiasco. he would have seen himself in the mould of his mentor, astride briand but very few others would agree to this comparison. one of his nicknames was the horse trader. this sums up lavals method of political dealings. a contempoary of his would have been Anthony eden. eden would be seen as the antithesis of laval. it has been said that lavals name spells the same from the left as well as the right. this statement would certainly not have bothered laval. he seemed to relish confrontation. he knew that this would get his name in the papers and he would be talked about. there were many home-grown fascists in France at this time. one could even say home-grown Nazis. one only has to consider the dreyfuss affair and how that split the french population. in many ways the french treated their Jewish citizens with more scorn than the Germans, pre-nazi era. the kindest thing one could say is that laval was an extremely pragmatic politician but this is being kind. he favoured a strong authoritorian political regime but so did much of Europe , at this time.

What happened in 1935 France?
In 1935, the first Tour de France was held. Also in 1935, the Franco-Italian Agreement and the Hoare-Laval Pact were both signed.
Why was the Hoare-Laval pact signed and what effect did it have?
Britain and France wanted to end conflict but keep Mussolini's friendship. They were alarmed at Italy's growing military strength and did not want to push Mussolini into a friendship with Hitler as it would mean a dangerous alliance between two fascist powers. In December, 1935, British and French Foreign Secretaries, Sir Samuel Hoare and Pierre Laval, drew up a plan in the hope it would encourage Mussolini to abandon War. Mussolini was to be offered half of Abyssinia in 3 areas. The rest of the country was to be a zone of Italian economic expansion. In return, Abyssinia was to gain access to the sea through Italian Eritea. The leaking of the pact to the public resulted in an outcry. This pact was seen as a surrender to aggression and Hoare was forced to resign. This pact did not come into operation but its publication undermined the league and any confidence in the sanctions policy against Italy.

Did the league of nations impose sanctions on Italy?
yes. the league imposed various sanctions on Italy during the Abyssinian crisis, however these did not include oil. stopping oil trade might have stopped Italy but they could still trade with the us as they were not members of the league( a severe weakness of the league) the Hoare Laval pact also severely undermined the league.
What was the Anglo French offer to Italy in 1935 that aroused a negative public opinion?
That was the Hoare-Laval Pact which caused Winston Churchill to comment: "No more coals to Newcastle, no more Hoares to Paris". It basically rewarded Italy for its invasion of Ethiopia by offering it Ogaden and Tigray to keep. A French newspaper leaked details of the deal; the ensuing public uproar caused the deal to fall through.
What did the league do about the abyssinian crisis?
the league talked to Mussolini, whilst he was sending troops into abyssinia. The league didn't want to loose Italy from the league of nations and decided to give part of abyssinia to Italy. However Mussolini wanted all of abyssinia to expand his empire, so instead he ignored the league and invaded abyssinia. Then the league banned weapons sales and put sanctions on rubber and metal. The abyssinian emperor Haile Selassie appealed to the league but the league did nothing, in fact they secretly agreed to give abyssinia to Italy. This was called the Hoare Laval pact.
