First of all, because of the great depression, countries like Japan and Italy wanted to expand their empires so as to get hold of new economies, so Japan invaded Manchuria in china which is a rich region, thus it would improve the falling economy. But the League of Nations was not able to impose economic sanctions over Japan, because 1. The USA, Japan's main trading partner would keep trading with Japan. 2. Non of the members of the League wanted to stop trading because it would worsen the bad economy.
This was also the case in the Abyssinian Crisis, Which have lead to the serious underestimation of the League, thus the League lost it's authority which eventually lead to it's downfall in 1940 and the second World War.

It's hard to believe, I know, but the League of Nations was even less effective in keeping the world in peace than is the United Nations. By any measure, both organizations are/were utter failures in that regard.

The league of nations failed because Germany and Russia two of the great powers in the world did not join the league of nations until later on and even then Germany left. America also didn't join the league of nations because the civillians didn't want to join.
