First of all, action against a country required a unanimous vote in the League of Nations. As a member of the League of Nations, Japan also had to the right to veto the action. Several members had valuable trade agreements, and were reluctant to vote to apply sanctions on Japan since it might hurt their agreements. As a result, the League of Nations was a failure, and Japan remained in Manchuria.
The League of Nations failed to effectively deal with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931 due to various factors. Firstly, several major powers, including Britain and the US, were hesitant to take strong action against Japan as they had their own economic and strategic interests in the region. Additionally, the League lacked enforcement mechanisms, and member states were not willing to commit military forces to intervene. Ultimately, the League's inability to impose meaningful sanctions or halt Japanese aggression undermined its credibility and effectiveness.
Slow, but very effective

because japan seized Manchuria which cause many league of nation members to protest.
Manchuria was a Chinese City in the early 1920's before Japan took it over in 1931 due to Japan's needs for oil which America refused to give after Japan joined the Axis Powers. Manchuria yielded the needed oil and was next to the Japanese island, so japan took it over. After the war ended, though, the league of nations decided to give it to the people's republic of China and Mongolia....A country in Asia.
The Empire of Japan beginning from 1937 until 1945.Manchuria was already under Japan's puppet nation after the invasion in 1931.
The defeat of Russia by Japan in the 1904-5 Russo-Japanese War, for all practical purposes gave Japan the highest level of a sphere of influence in iron ore rich Manchuria. Prior to the imperialism of the 1800 and 1900's , China controlled Manchuria.
China .
The island nation of Japan, has always needed to import many of the raw materials that simply did not exist in any large quantities on its island. Manchuria was rich coal, iron ore and soil to grow food for Japan. It also gave Japan a border with Russia. This prevented any Russian interference in Manchuria. In 1931, Japan launched an invasion of Manchuria and left the League of Nations. By 1932, japan controlled all of Manchuria and used their conquest to further their needs for war and for products for their people. Once in control of Manchuria, they developed railroads, hydroelectric power, and built a sizable iron and steel industry. This increased Japan's power economically and militarily.
Imperial Japan.
Japan was the totalitarian nation that invaded Manchuria. This attack occurred in 1931 because Japan was trying to gain control over China for the entire province.
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.
