The Abyssinian Crisis and the Stresa Front (1935)

About the committee

Welcome to Rome, 1935: The Fate of Fascism is in Your Hands. You will not play a country. Instead, you will take on the role of a real historical figure inside the Italian government. You might be a ruthless general on the African frontline, a brilliant diplomat cutting deals in European capitals, the head of the terrifying Secret Police, or an industrialist trying to save the economy. Information/Topic Background: The year is 1935. Benito Mussolini has ruled Italy for over a decade, but he wants more. He wants to recreate the ancient Roman Empire. To do this, he has just ordered the Italian military to invade Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia).While Italian propaganda shows a nation united in glory, behind closed doors in the Grand Council of Fascism, the atmosphere is tense. Your choices in this committee will reshape global history. The invasion of Abyssinia has plunged Italy into a high-stakes geopolitical trap. By attacking a sovereign nation, Italy has outraged the international community and directly violated the League of Nations. Now, the Grand Council must navigate a treacherous diplomatic tightrope. Pushing too hard in Africa risks a devastating war with Great Britain and France, who control the vital Suez Canal. However, retreating would destroy the regime's pride. To make matters worse, Italy lacks the essential oil, steel, and coal needed to sustain a prolonged conflict. If the League of Nations imposes a total trade embargo, the military will freeze, the domestic economy will collapse, and the fascist experiment will crash before it truly begins. As the international pressure mounts, the shadow of a rising Nazi Germany looms large over Europe. The committee must decide whether to maintain Italy's traditional alliances with Britain and France to contain Adolf Hitler, or abandon them entirely to form a dangerous new pact with Berlin. Meanwhile, the deadliest battlefield may actually be inside the Council room itself. Decades of tension are boiling over as traditional military generals clash with radical fascist politicians, and industrial titans panic over the cost of war. With the King looking for an excuse to strip Mussolini of power and the Secret Police listening to every whisper, delegates must balance imperial conquest with their own political survival.
