(Original Caption) 5/20/38-Geneva, Switzerland- Haile Selassie, whose African kingdom became colonial possession of the new Italian empire, is shown with a few of his remaining followers, leaving the League of Nations chamber after the League Council by a vote of 11 to 3, acknowledged the passing of ethiopia as an independent monarchy. The Negus holds a copy of the speech he delivered in a futile effort to swerve the delegates from the action which made him an Emperor without an empire. (Photo by Bettmann Archive/Getty Images)
