he invaded in 1935

this was known as the abysinian crisis.

Mussolini (Italy's dictator) invaded abyssinia because he had tried to take over abyssina in 1896 but was defeated at the battle of Adowa. and thiis was his chance for revenge.

he was also jealous of Hitler's rearmament in Germany.

he wanted to let everyone no he was the the main dictator in Europe.

The league tried to stop him in various ways, all of which failed. :(

they offered to arbitrate in the dispute (this was rejected by italy).

They also imposed sanctions on italy, though these didnt include oil, coal or iron!

i hope this has helped

(i only know all this because im doing GCSE history) ;)
