Image Map of Hoare Laval Pact.jpg thumb right 300px The proposed division of Abyssinia Ethiopia under the pact The Hoare Laval Pact was a December 1935 proposal by United Kingdom British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Foreign Secretary Samuel Hoare, 1st Viscount Templewood Samuel Hoare and France French Prime Minister of France Prime Minister Pierre Laval for ending the Second Italo Abyssinian War . Italy had wanted to take Abyssinia as part of its empire, and have an empire like the Romans had, and also to avenge previous defeats in the region. The Pact offered to partition Abyssinia as Ethiopia was then called , and thus achieve Italy Italian dictator Benito Mussolini s goal of making the independent nation of Abyssinia into an Italian colony. Under the pact, Italy would gain the best parts of Ogaden and Tigray Province Tigray , and economic influence over all the southern part of Abyssinia. Abyssinia would have a guaranteed corridor to the sea but a poor one, called a corridor for camels at the port of Assab . Mussolini was ready to agree to this, but he waited some days to make his opinion public. Meanwhile, the plan was leaked by a French newspaper on 13 December 1935, and denounced as a sell out of the Abyssinians. The British government disassociated itself from the Pact, and both Hoare and Laval were forced to resign. At that moment, both Britain and France were eager to have Italy rejoin the Stresa Front against Adolf Hitler s ambitions. Moreover, Mussolini wanted to end the Abyssinian war, due to the poor performance of his general, Marshall Emilio De Bono , and unexpectedly hard Abyssinian resistance. Historians have differed over the significance of the pact. A. J. P. Taylor argued that it was the event that killed the League of Nations and that the pact was a perfectly sensible plan, in line with the League s previous acts of conciliation from Corfu to Manchuria which would have ended the war satisfied Italy and left Abyssinia with a more workable ... more details
