Not a lot. The notion that the League could have saved the world from another war is absurd. It had no armed forces and its effectiveness was subject to western powers which themselves weren't much interested in stopping aggression that didn't directly threaten them. The League actually did much of value, but stopping great powers from initiating wars was entirely beyond its means. Europe failed the League rather than vice versa.

Who supported the league of nations?

The League of Nation was created in 1920. As most of the destruction in World War One was in Europe, European nations were strong supporters of the League. One of the main purposes of the League was to prevent wars by having international disputes settled by an agreement. The League of Nations could not prevent many conflicts that erupted before World War Two came about.


Why did the manchurian crisis weaken the league of nations?

The Manchurian Crisis of 1931 significantly weakened the League of Nations by exposing its inability to enforce collective security and resolve international conflicts effectively. When Japan invaded Manchuria, the League's response was slow and ultimately ineffective, leading to Japan's withdrawal from the organization. This failure undermined the League's credibility and authority, demonstrating that it could not prevent aggression by powerful nations, which contributed to the rise of militarism and tensions leading up to World War II.

How can unanimous voting lead the league of nations to fail?

Unanimous voting in the League of Nations often led to paralysis in decision-making, as any single member could block proposals, even those with broad support. This requirement made it difficult to respond effectively to international crises, as consensus was hard to achieve among diverse nations with varying interests. Consequently, critical actions were delayed or abandoned, undermining the League's authority and effectiveness, and ultimately contributing to its failure to maintain peace and prevent conflicts in the interwar period.

What did Wilson insist be part of the Treaty of Versailles in order to prevent future wars?

He wanted the League of Nations to be set up to prevent another World War. The League was started, but, even though the USA did not officially get into it, it failed when the Japanese invaded China, and the League of Nations could not do anything about it. Then Italy attacked Ethiopia, and Germany kept making more and more demand upon the other nations until it invaded Poland on September 1 1939 and WWII started. The League of Nations without any power to back it up was just a lot of talk that Japan, Italy, and Germany paid no attention to.
