Rather a question of priorities. Europe was the priority.

@Benito-Musolesi Evil indeed. Surely a stark contrast to the friendly, good-natured manner in which noble Italian warriors killed 150,000 Abyssinian tribesmen with mustard gas after 1935.

@Benito-Musolesi A small correction. The Italian government ALLEGED that the British, either directly or indirectly, supplied such bullets. The British government at the time submitted their response, and left the League of Nations to decide the merits or otherwise of the claim. The International Committee of the Red Cross also attempted to investigate claims of breaches of the Geneva Convention, but were not permitted access by either side. Perhaps you would care to read Mr. Eden's statement to the House on 18 May, 1936, as published in Hansard, on the allegations? So, you consider mass extermination of thousands by means of Mustard Gas to be a 'fair & adequate' response? Thank Heavens Italy didn't have nuclear weapons in 1936!!!! The rest of your post is simply a rant, on a par with your reference to 'That war criminal of Admiral Cunningham, a coward like all the British.' Presumably, reasoned argument and measured exposition of a case isn't' your forte?

@Benito-Musolesi As I had suggested, reasoned argument or rational debate is not something which comes naturally to you. You really didn't need to prove it.

@josephdalelio6684 Has he? I don't recall reading any. I only recall nonsense such as :- ' the criminal Winston Churchill too during the Anglo Boer War was found aboard a train with a pistol with dum dum bullets and was put on the wall to be shot ....' Firstly, there is no evidence to confirm this, and secondly were the Boers really such poor shots? Oh, & references to the Slave Trade, which the British abolished within their empire in 1833 and their navy spent the next 40 years eliminating. Perhaps you are unsure about the difference between 'facts' and 'unsubstantiated allegations?'

@josephdalelio6684 Presumably you haven't bothered to read Dr. Marcel Junod's Report on the ICRC site about Italian behaviour during their invasion of Ethopia?
