England allowed Mussolini to use the Suez Canal to attack Ethiopia in 1935 as part of a broader strategy to maintain stability in the region and avoid direct conflict with Italy. At the time, Britain was concerned about the rise of fascism and wanted to appease Mussolini to keep him from aligning more closely with Nazi Germany. Additionally, the British government underestimated the implications of Mussolini's aggression and hoped that a limited conflict would not escalate. Ultimately, this decision reflected the broader policy of appeasement that characterized European diplomacy in the interwar period.
