The Hore-Laval Project 1935 and its impact on British politics (a study in international relations)

Abstract

The outbreak of World War II preceded the crystallization of a new international structure based on the bipolar bloc between the axis countries (Germany - Italy - Japan), and the allies Britain and France, joined by the United States of America.

Italy was allied with France and Britain within the framework of the (Stresa) front, to contradict its interests with Germany, especially in Austria, but the twisted position of Britain and France against Italy in the Abyssinian issue led to its turning towards Germany, as it left the (Stresa) front in 1936 and signed the October Protocol in 1936 1936 with Germany as Germany signed with Japan Anticoventern the same year.
