The League of Nations had no armed forces, and had no means of punishing other countries that engaged in things that the League of Nations was created to defeat, like embargo, military buildups, antagonism between nations, etc. In other words, it had no teeth

The League of Nations was considered weak because they had no power to enforce their rules or decisions. So if countries decided they didn't want to follow the ruling given by the League of Nations, they could do so and wouldn't face any ramifications.
because there were constantly people joining and leaving and the only too countries that could inflict punishment were britain and France.
It was weakened by American refusal to join.
When the US refused to join the League of Nations this weakened the League of Nations severely. The US government relied on check and balance system as well at this time the US was going through the Great Depression. The League of Nations tried to impose an economical sanction against Italy. When the US found out about it they decided to trade everything Italy had to trade. Once the other countries found out about the decision of the US they realized that the League of Nations was ineffective.
the league of nations was established.
The League of Nations.
Yes. It was the League of Nations, which had basically the same principles, however, did not work effectively. League of Nations was formed after World War I in order to maintain peace and security, however, it did not have an army, therefore, could not effectively intervene. Moreover, United States did not join League of Nations, what weakened League's position. After withdrawal of Japan from the Leage and its unsuccessful attempts to maintain peace, after start of World War II organization faded. United Nations, formed after WWII has basically same means, however, learned from mistakes of LN.
The precursor to the Current United Nations was called the League of Nations. The League of Nations was founded in 1919. When the United Nations was formed in 1945, the League of Nations basically ceased to exist.
Nothing. The League of Nations was the predecessor to the United Nations. (:
There is no League of Nations. We have United Nations
The league of nations was created out of WWI.
Because by the time we knew that the Germans were lying about keeping peace and that gaining all the land they did without a fight just weakened us and strengthened them, it was too late to prevent it. The second they withdrew from the league of nations, we should have suspected of future evil and crimes.
The United Nations predecessor organization was the League of Nations which was founded at the end of WW1 as a result of the Treaty of Versailles and managed to attract at its best the participation of 58 countries during 24 September 1934 and 23 February 1935.
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."
