3. What caused the end of
the League?

The real death of the League was in December 1935, not 1939 or
1945. one day it was a powerful body imposing sanctions, seeming
more effective than ever before; the next day it was an empty
sham, everyone scuttling from it as quickly as possible. What killed
the League was the publication of the Hoare- Laval Plan.
The judgement of British Historian A.J.P. Taylor on the impact of the
Abyssinia Crisis
 Hoare and Laval secretly agreed to split Abyssinia up.
 They agreed to give Italy much of the fertile lands in the North and south of the
country as well as other areas in the south for Italian economic expansion.
 This would reduce the size of Abyssinia by half its size.
 They decided all of this without the consent of Abyssinia
 It showed that although GB and France talked tough they wouldn’t follow
through and Mussolini was to be rewarded for his aggression
 Hoare and Laval were forced to resign when the plans were leaked by the press.
