Summary The League of Nations disbands in 1933 from a lack of support from superpowers. In 1931 Japan takes over Manchuria, Italy takes control of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935, which leads to the official end of the League of Nations. The Hoare-Laval plan ensues, while people lose interest and Mussolini finishes his conquest.
