31 авг 1923 г. - Corfu dispute

Описание:

An Italian general was killed while doing some work for the League in Greece. Mussolini was angry with the Greeks and asked them to pay compensation and execute the murderers. They were unable to do so, so he invaded Corfu, killing 15 people in the process. The Greeks asked the league for help. The League met and told Mussolini to leave Corfu and the greeks to pay compensation to the League which would be kept until the murderers were found. Mussolini then pulled some strings and got the league to change their decision. They told Greece to apologise and pay the money to Italy which they did.
