Hoare-Laval pact

Hoare and Laval plead with Mussolini behind the scenes, promising to give him 2/3rds of it in exchange for calling off the invasion but Selassie didn't agree to this. The Plan is leaked and they were both sacked. the league worked out if they stopped oil sales it could work, but it was too late and USA would not have supported it due to the pact and instead sent more oil to Italy
