Editing Munich Agreement (section)

====Italian colonial demands from France====
{{Main|France–Italy relations}}
Italy strongly supported Germany at Munich, and a few weeks later, in October 1938, tried to use its advantage to make new demands on France. Mussolini demanded a [[list of free ports|free port]] at [[French Somaliland|Djibouti]], control of the [[Addis Ababa]]-[[Djibouti (city)|Djibouti]] railroad, Italian participation in the management of [[Suez Canal Company]], some form of French-Italian [[condominium (international law)|condominium]] over [[French protectorate of Tunisia|Tunisia]] and the preservation of [[Italian culture]] in French-held [[Corsica]] with no French assimilation of the people. France rejected those demands and began threatening naval maneuvers as a warning to Italy.<ref name="H. James Burgwyn 1940. p182-183">H.
