easy. Oil based paint is very durable when cured. This makes it "easy" to sand because the paint powders up quickly unlike latex paint which remains more flexible therefor gumming up normal sandpaper.
It is unusual to find interior walls coated with an oil based paint, it is normally found on interior trim, doors, and cabinetry. If you are wanting to paint over the oil based paint, you can use a liquid de-glosser to prep the walls and paint directly over the oil. If it is a major color change, use a primer tinted 50 percent strength of the final color. Like they said-"easy"

Why would new paint peel off the wall painted a room in my house and after it was dry the new and old paint peeled all the way to the drywall?
You have a problem with the drywall. It is not a problem with the paint. Most likely it is moisture or some kind of contamination on the wall that is pulling it off the drywall. Another issue to consider is if you have too many coats on the wall the weight of all the coats of paint can cause stress and pull everything off. If the paint is not peeling everywhere and is just peeling in certain places the paint did not fail. (Paint does not choose where it will peel and where it will adhere).
