WI - Yugoslav Civil War in the 30s?

Not that it would've really mattered considering that the French government was succumbing to political infighting, a stagnant economy, and unrest in its colonies. Could they have directly intervened vs. Italy in Ethiopia, or vs. Germany in regards to Czechoslovakia or Poland? Well no for the latter as it has been shown, for the former two probably, but it is also just as likely they would've torn themselves apart doing so.
 
The Western powers along with a whole bunch of lesser League powers came close to outright war with Italy over an African state towards which they had no formal obligations and for what in the 30s quite a bit of their population would still view as just a colonial conflict.
Expect they didn't as they were courting Italy as an ally against Germany. Also Italy wouldn't be taking all of Yugoslavia but a nibble of a broken shell.

Were the Western powers courting Italy in the hope of containing Germany? Obviously so. So what was the fate of the aforementioned agreements? The Franco-Italian agreement in January 1935, 10 months before the invasion of Ethiopia, failed to be ratified because the Italians wanted concessions over Tunisia, Nice and Corsica. The Stresa front collapsed due to the very Abyssinia crisis, hardly what someone would call the expected result if the Western powers were selling Ethiopia down the road in the name of retaining the Italian alliance. Did some people within France and Britain try to nevertheless sell Ethiopia down the road? As evidenced by the Laval-Hoare agreement certainly so. Only this brought massive public backlash within both Britain and France ending with the agreement in the dustbin and Laval out of the government, never to return till Vichy.

We can say in hindsight that the Western powers failed to contain Mussolini and should obviously had done more. But the other side of the story is that however much unwanted the Abyssinia crisis was and however much ineffective the League reaction was, it DID happen and the League did react to an affair that before WW1 would had just been a footnote on European colonial expansion in Africa and were the two key players interest would had been to do absolutely nothing instead of destroying their relations with Italy. And this is over a state to which no treaty obligations nor Western interests exist.
