Just like teens have FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), countries sometimes make moves not to feel left out or under threat. Let's dive into the drama of the 1930s. 🕺💃

• Britain and France tried to woo Italy, but not through the League of Nations. 🙅‍♂️
• Why? Italy was the 'cool kid' on the block with everyone eyeing Germany (Hitler's rise made things tense).

🌟 Key Reasons

• Hitler's Party Time: After the murder of the Austrian chancellor, Dollfuss in 1934, Italy became a strategic BFF for Britain and France. By 1935, Germany was flexing with a reviving economy. 1936 saw Hitler's bold move - remilitarizing the Rhineland. Imagine someone showing up uninvited to a party and taking over the DJ booth! 🎵🎤
• Geography Quiz: With Italy as a buddy, France could:
  • Help its other pals (Little Entente allies) faster.
  • Guard its beautiful Mediterranean coast.
  • Chill a bit because they wouldn't need to guard the Alps against Italy in case Germany went rogue.
• Public Sentiment:
  • Think of it as peer pressure! A lot of Brits and French folks weren't keen on fighting for Abyssinia. "Why care about a distant drama?" they thought.
