章 1004: 752

After the outbreak of war between Italy and the Abyssinian Empire, the eyes of the whole world were drawn to the conflict in East Africa.

Of course, the war in Africa was not considered as important, at least there were no intentions from the Powers to interfere or share a piece of the action.

Britain and France were busy strengthening their own influences and thus adopted a tolerant attitude towards Italy.

After all, Italy was still a Powerful Nation, and its influence in the Mediterranean was much stronger than that of the Balkan States.

The French wanted to woo Italy to stand against Britain, while the British hoped to at least secure Italy's neutrality.

This allowed Mussolini to conduct his war with ease, as no country would obstruct him, at least not in the short term.

The chaos in India and war in East Africa actually signified the unrest of the era.
