Because it didn't have the power to. The League of Nations was a noble attempt set up after the "war to end all wars" (WWI) as a forum for countries to discuss any disagreements. Hitler took Germany out of the League in 1933. Unlike the UN, it had no mandate to provide a peace-keeping force, and therefore did not have the physical capacity to prevent Hitler's invasion of Poland.

The League could also not prevent the Soviet Union from invading Poland from the East. Based on the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact's secret deal, the Soviet Union would take the eastern half of Poland, while Germany took the western half.

How did league of nations contribute to the rise of Hitler?

The League of Nations did nothing to stop Hitler's rise to power. First, Hitler stopped paying his mandatory WW1 reparation war debt payments and the League of Nations did nothing to stop him. Then he built up an army from 100,000 to 8,000,000, which he also wasn't allowed to do. Then he took over Rhineland from France and they didn't do anything. Then he took over all of Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia... and they didn't do anything. They finally did something when Germany took over all of Poland.

How did Hitler use the League of Nations as an excuse to take over territory in Europe?

hitler knew after taking Rhineland by surprise, he shouldnt take Sudetenland by the same way, so he asked for a meeting with League of nations ( which the league of nation never expected from a dictator) and asked for Sudetenland, and the league gave it to him, (appeasement). PS: as far as I know hitler didnt use the league of nation for anything else other then this.
