Which foreign policy issue led to his disgrace and resignation as Foreign Secretary?

  • Israel and Palestine

  • Cold War

  • Suez Canal Crisis

Answer

The Abyssinian Crisis, also known as the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, was a conflict between Italy and Ethiopia that deeply affected British foreign policy and led to the resignation of Foreign Secretary Samuel Hoare. Hoare's involvement in the Hoare-Laval Pact, which proposed territorial concessions to Italy in Ethiopia, sparked significant public outrage and damaged his political reputation.
