Challenge to League of Nations
The Japanese attack on Manchuria was the first direct challenge to the League of Nations.
League members protested, but it had no power to enforce its decisions.
Japan ignored their protests and withdrew from the League in 1933.

Japan invades China
On July 7, 1937, the Japanese and the Chinese exchanged shots at a railroad bridge near Beijing.
Jiang Jieshi’s soldiers were no match for the better equipped and trained Japanese.
The League of Nations did nothing to help.

Mussolini attacks Ethiopia
The League’s failure to stop the Japanese encouraged Mussolini to invade Ethiopia.
Mussolini wished to build an empire, and Ethiopia was one of the few remaining independent African nations left.
Ethiopia had successfully resisted an Italian attempt at conquest during the 1890s, and Mussolini wanted to avenge the defeat.
He ordered a full scale invasion on Ethiopia in October 1935.

Italy takes over Ethiopia
Ethiopia could not withstand the new technology of airplanes, tanks, guns, and poison gas.
The Ethiopian emperor, Haile Selassie urgently appealed to the League of Nations for help.
The League condemned the attack, but did nothing to help.

another foreign war.
