Spain first withdrew from the League of Nations in 1926 when its demand for a permanent seat on the organization's Council was rejected, and its subsequent, private demand to include the city of Tangiers in its zone in Morocco as diplomatic compensation was rejected by France and Britain. Spain would return to the League, however, in 1928, and was elected to the Council as a non-permanent member. A permanent seat on the Council was considered as a sign of having "Great Power" status in world diplomacy, something Spain had lost forever in 1898 as a result of the Spanish-American War, when its remaining colonies (Cuba and the Philippines) were lost to the United States. Spain remained a member of the League until May, 1939, when it withdrew following its brutal civil war and after signing the Anti-Comintern Pact with Italy and Germany. During WII the Spanish government of Gen. Francisco Franco was friendly toward Germany and Italy, but remained officially neutral, despite Hitler's efforts to involve Spain in the conflict.

Why didn't the UN join the league of nations?

Original Answer: Because they are decades away. Improved: The United Nations are not a country. They couldn't have "joined" the League of Nations. The League of Nations was the predecessor of the United Nations - the League of Nations failed, and so, many years later in 1942 (I believe it was that year) they founded the United Nations as an improved "League of Nations."
