Italy invaded Ethiopia. The Ethiopians’ appeal to the League of
Nations did not result in substantive intervention, because of
British and French appeasement policies. The Italians overran
Ethiopia after half a year of combat; the country’s Emperor, Haile
Selassie, went into exile. The Italian occupation lasted until the
British liberated the country in 1941, whereupon the emperor
reclaimed his throne. |
