The Stresa Pact was an agreement between Britain, France, and Italy which formalised opposition to German rearmament. It committed Britain, France and Italy to work together against Germany.

Even though it was negotiated at the same time as the Abyssinian Crisis, it did not once mention Abyssinia. Mussolini therefore felt comfortable in invading Abyssinia without intervention from Britain and France.
