The Abyssinian Crisis, also known as the Second Italo-Ethiopian War (1935-1936), was a conflict initiated by Italy's invasion of Ethiopia, aiming to expand its colonial empire in Africa. The League of Nations condemned the invasion and imposed economic sanctions on Italy, but these measures were largely ineffective. The war highlighted the weaknesses of the League and the failure of collective security, ultimately leading to Italy's occupation of Ethiopia and a significant shift in international relations. The crisis also foreshadowed the aggressive expansionism that would characterize the lead-up to World War II.
