Oh for goodness sake. Not again. Another crisis! We do not need this at all. The League Of Nations is weak enough as it is! Now Italy. All over some silly little bit of land called "Walwal". Silly name anyhow. Italy was all upset about it all. So upset they invaded Abyssinia. How stupid. Abyssinia could never be able to outfight the Italians, large army but poor equipment.
They know this though, that's why they came to us. Their emperor even came to see us in the League Of Nations simply to ask for help. What do they want us to do?! I, and France, need the allies if the tensions with the German Chancellor "Adolf Hitler" rise up. We tried to impose economic sanctions but not oil of course! Can't afford to lose our hold on the market for that. Or block the Suez Canal, far too much effort! So I sent out our foreign secretary Hoare and the french secretary Laval to have some secret negotiations. We agreed with Mussolini, the leader of Italy, that we would allow them some of Abyssinia and the rest later on. But then DISASTER! The press found out about this, so cleverly called "The Hoare-Laval Pact", and the public were in outrage.
As with it seems everything nowadays, the League Of Nations is becoming less respected and consequently less power.
