Sanctions on italy

A committee formed to pick fair sanctions when Mussolini began a full-scale invasion of Abyssinia in Oct 1935 and it was clear that Italy was stronger.

Britain and France, who controlled the Suez Canal, chose not to block it to Italy's supply ships, though doing so may have ended it fast, Because they felt that it might start a war with Italy.
