The Abyssinia Crisis, also known as the Second Italo-Ethiopian War (1935-1936), was a conflict between Italy and Ethiopia. Italy, under Benito Mussolini, sought to expand its colonial empire and invaded Ethiopia in October 1935. The League of Nations condemned the aggression and imposed economic sanctions on Italy, but these measures were largely ineffective. The war ended in May 1936 with Italy's occupation of Ethiopia, highlighting the weaknesses of the League of Nations and setting a precedent for future aggression in Europe.
