The united states was not a member of the league of nations
The League of Nations was the precursor to the United Nations. The greatest failing of the League of Nations is its absolute inaction in response to aggression prior to the outbreak of the Second World War.
The League of Nations was viewed by the world as "the league of the victors of World War 1" rather than a fair league for all nations. Most nations ignored the League and their goals therefore the League did little to prevent World War 2. The Treaty of Versailles was also connected to the League of Nations and many nations resented that Treaty. This was a major contributing factor of the reasons for World War 2 being started and fought.
The League of Nations response to the Japanese expansion of 1933 was initially to help China as they declared Japan the aggressor in the situation. Ultimately Japan ended up leaving the League and keeping their troops where they were.
The Japanese conquest of Manchuria and the Italian conquest of Ethiopia both showed the weaknesses that were in the League of Nations agreement.
When US President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked the Senate to pass a resolution authorizing the President, at his discretion, to embargo arms shipments to aggressor nations, the Senate decided to amend the requested resolution. The Senate believed that if a president embargoed arms to an aggressor nation, it might involve the US in a war. The Senate therefore amended the resolution to embargo all nations should a dispute arise among both friendly and aggressive nations. This was a blow to his pledge to help the League of Nations.

Appeasement, straight up appeasement.
By 'advances' do you mean attempts to woo, that is, join the League or do you mean Hitler's triumphs in the 1930s?

One of the biggest failures to stop territorial aggression for the League of Nations was when Mussolini invaded Abyssinia. As a result Italy took over Abyssinia.
Yes, the League of Nations was successful at discouraging aggression in the 1920's. An example is the successful arbitration between Finland and Sweden in their dispute over the Aland Islands.
