No detailed description available for \"The Coming of the Italian-Ethiopian War\".

The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) has listed them: to adapt the service to the country's requirements in an era of hyperglobalization; to meet the threat of terrorism; to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction; to deter or control a future peer competitor on the sea; to support friends and allies; and to address maritime issues in an era that is both transnational and state-centric in nature. Let me conclude with a brief word on the College's historical role in shaping our understanding of the sea and the sea services, the importance of ideas and of education in establishing the terms of maritime and national security, the importance of the education of professional naval officers and of creating a broader public awareness of maritime values.

A strategy, argues a distinguished Naval War College scholar, will show the maritime services what they are to protect, what they are to pursue, & for what they are to prepare. A new maritime strategy will express the way the nation sees itself in respect to the world ocean & declare what the fleet can do about it. Adapted from the source document.

The imposition of limited sanctions against Italy was given fair prospect of success by members of the League. Sanctions were to have a twofold purpose. One was to uphold the Covenant and encourage collective security. The other was to end the war by putting pressure on the Italian government so as to make it amenable to a negotiated settlement. It was expected that economic and financial measures (as opposed to military means) would be sufficient, over a period of time, to achieve this. The timetable was upset by unexpected political events and by the collapse of Ethiopian military resistance. Policies are explained, events discussed, and to illuminate some dilemmas a distinction (not then well perceived) is made between politically important “consumatory” assumptions and diplomatically operative “instrumentalist” and reconciliationist practices.
