  • Public outcry over Hoare-Laval Pact

  • Political disagreements

Answer

Public outcry over the Hoare-Laval Pact, a proposed secret agreement between France and Italy that would have allowed Italy to expand its territories in Africa, led to the resignation of British Foreign Secretary Samuel Hoare in 1935. The pact sparked outrage among the British public, with many viewing it as a betrayal of Ethiopia's sovereignty and a sign of weakness in the face of Italian aggression.
