Due to the recent Wall Street Crash, those in the League of Nations were too poor to engage in war. So instead they all sat out.
After the condemnation, Italy and Japan withdrew from the League of Nations.
The first example is the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. The League of Nations disapproved but had no means to stop the invasion. Mussolini then invaded Ethiopia in 1935, and the League of Nations was unable to take action against him. Finally, in 1936, Hitler began to remilitarize Germany, and there was no reaction from the League of Nations.
Japan, Germany and Italy
mad
Japan and Italy defied the League of Nations primarily due to their imperial ambitions and dissatisfaction with the post-World War I order. Japan sought to expand its influence in East Asia and the Pacific, leading to the invasion of Manchuria in 1931, which the League condemned but failed to effectively respond to. Similarly, Italy, under Mussolini, aimed to build a new Roman Empire, leading to its invasion of Ethiopia in 1935. Both nations disregarded the League’s authority as they believed it could not enforce its decisions, ultimately undermining the League's effectiveness and credibility.
The League of Nations failed to protect countries from invasion primarily due to its lack of enforcement power and the absence of major powers like the United States. Its decisions relied on collective security and economic sanctions, which were often ineffective and lacked the necessary military backing. Additionally, member nations prioritized their national interests over collective action, leading to inaction during crises, such as the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and the Italian invasion of Ethiopia. This inability to respond decisively undermined its credibility and ultimately contributed to its collapse.
As always, nothing. The League of Nations spent most of their time sitting on their butts talking the talk and not walking the walk.
Britain and France wanted Mussolini as an ally against Hitler the league of nations failed to protect their countries.
Italy's successful invasion of Ethiopia demonstrated the weakness of the League of Nations, which had no power to prevent war, despite its noble ideals.
decision to join the League of Nations
nothing
To try and prevent future world wars from occurring. WWI was so terrible that people wanted it to be the "war to end all wars". The Great Depression, the rise of fascism, the failure of the League of Nations to respond to Japan's invasion of Manchuria and China all resulted in the League of Nations failing in it's main goal to prevent another world war.
