How did the failure of the League of Nations contribute to World War 2?

The League of Nations was originally formed to promote world peace, but was a failure and one of the causes of WW2. The League did not always stand up for weaker countries and this showed dictators like Hitler and Mussolini that they could do what they wanted to and get away with it.
One of the League's major contribution to the war was its reaction to Italy's Abyssinian invasion. The League took ages to make its decision, and, eventually, decided to try sanctions. This did not work as the League did not ban oil and steel. Italy could also still trade with the USA, which was not a member of the League.
While all this was happening, Hitler gathered his forces and rearmed the Rhineland. This move was forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles. His men faced no resistance.
Overall, the League appeared as a very weak force, unable to keep peace between countries.

∙ 18y agoIf they had real power they could of used it and stopped the war from happening, but the league was just a bunch of ideals. There was no backing to their demands of withdrawal. if the united states had join the league, maybe the WWII could have been avoided.

the cause of WW2 was Hitler and there were the UK France AND the USA making demands on Germany a Versailles after WW1
and when Hitler was Ignoring the Treaty which the USA signed along with the British and the French who were trying to stop Germany the USA remained SILENT
Not the fault of the league of nations
Because the UK and France had no taste for war went to appeasement

However, the concept and framework of the League led to the creation of the United Nations at the end of the war. The League officially ended in 1946 and transferred itself over to the newly formed UN.

∙ 9y agoThey could indeed be blamed for eventually causing World War 2 because they allowed the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, possibly the worst 'treaty' for peace in the world. ThE most unfair written out statement of peace. It shattered Germany, so none of us can rightly be surprised that Germany lashed out in war because of it, but we can be surprised that the German people let such a power-mad bastard take total control of Germany and mercilessly slaughter millions of Jewish people and millions of other 'inferiors'.

What international body was formed after World War 1?
The League of Nations.
Why was the league of Nation formed after world war 1?
Woodrow Wilson promoted the idea of the League of Nations to the French and all the other nations of the alliance when they were discussing the surrender conditions to be presented to the Germans. He had fourteen points of his ideas and some were incorporated into the Treaty of Versailles but the entire idea of the League of Nations failed. Wilson's own country refused to endorse and be part of the League of Nations. He wanted the League of Nations to promote, preserve and protect the world peace. The league turned out to be a failure because it was unable to prevent World War 2 and gain the cooperation of all the nations. The United Nations does a better job.
