| The Corfu incedent |
| Five Italians were shot on the Greek island of Corfu while investigating the frontier between Greece and Albania. Mussolini used this as an excuse to occupy Corfu, which lead to the Greek government appealing to the League of Nations. Their final decision was to force the Greek government to pay a large amount of money to Mussolini in return for him leaving the island. This was a sign of an argument being solved without having to go to war. |
