- After the declarations given by Adolf Hitler this past March attempting to break any of the terms signed in the Treaty of Versailles publicaly. Mentioning an Air Force build up, increase of the army and the introduction of conscription, the nations of Britain, France and Italy have scheduled this meeting in order to fight this attitude back. We are here to stop any possible menace for society and peace!
- Pierre-Étienne Flandin : Ramsay McDonald : Benito Mussolini
- As a new alliance is born between the countries of France, Britain and Italy we had the main aim of reaffirming the treaty of Locarno, signed 10 years ago on Switzerland. A coalition that declares Austria as an Independent Nation! A pact that would oppose complitely on Adolf Hitler's posible attempts to change the Treaty of Versailles! An alliance that would ensure peace! An alliance capable from stoping any future war!
- This agremeent contradicted in his totality the pact signed by Britain months ago. They were now accepting rearmament, something they condemened months ago. This was consider the beggining of the end for the recent Stresa Pact or Front
- Sir Samuel Hoare (Britain) : Joachim Von Ribbentrop (Germany)
- Today, June 18, 1935 the nations of Britain and Germany reunite together thanks to the Naval Agreement. As a country we decided to grow our navy as to permit Germans to do this. Germany can increase their Navy to a 35% in relation to ours!
- I was betrayed by Britain. I knew nothing about this agreement which can completely destroy us. As I thought many years before of creating a respected and freared italy I take this opportunity to attack and invade the country of Abyssinia. I could also assure that I'm driffting my political desires and beliefs towards the side of Germany.
- October 3, 1935Abyssinia (Now Ethiopia)
- Mussolini had this invasion thought and prepared for many years but felt that his new allies would oppose him on this desicions. But after what Britain have done, he felt nothing against them and launched this powerful invasion. knowing how powerful Germany was starting to get, and feeling betrayed by his allies, Mussolini started to drift away from the Stresa pact and towards Germany. Mussolini knew that he couldn't fight the tiger back so he decided to join them.
- The Stresa front was seen as the most important move done if the world wanted to mantain peace. But months later from being signed, it was clear this wasn't as wanted. It started collapsing as the 2 events mentioned before happened. It was clear that the Stresa Front had a strong wasted potential.
