"League of Nations in the 1930s - Disarmament and Abyssinia." YouTube. YouTube, 05 June 2009. Web. 17 Mar. 2014. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwbrg0R5o8w>.
In the Disarmament Conference in 1932, the expectations where high from the people. Petitions with millions of signatures where collected in order to create pressure of all the people (world-wide) expecting to keep peace. The video talks about the "international idealism" of disarmament and the hopes, people have put into it. Paderewski (was a polish spokesman and politician) states what the problem is with disarmament: "Everyone expects the other fellow to disarm but is not ready to disarm himself." Examples of failures of the League are stated including the Abyssinian Crisis.
Paderewski was right, mentioning the main problem about Disarmament and why the hopes of the people have been crushed about abolishing wars. As long one major power does not disarm, no nation will disarm with the reason being 'security'. This chain reaction follows and the disarmament moves near to the impossible.
The video source provides a basic overview of what happened in Abyssinia and about Disarmament. Nevertheless, it did not represent different opinions about these two themes making the overview to broad. Based on guesses, the purpose of the source was to inform; nevertheless the origin (official name of creator) is unknown.
