Besides condemning the actions of Italy in invading Ethiopia, the League of Nations called for a trade embargo. This proved to be just as ineffective as their condemnation.
The US's rejection of the treaty caused many countries to withdraw from the League of Nations. The League of Nations late proved ineffective and was disbanded as the UN was formed in its place.

The Abyssinian Crisis.
no. because it only makes sense to try again.
The Treaty of Versailles created the League of Nations. This body was intended to mediate future disputes among nations, but it proved to be too weak to be really effective.
Stresemann negotiated German admission to the League in 1925 (with effect from 1926), and Hitler pulled Germany out in 1933 as a protest against the disarmament conference in progress at the time.
The invasion of Russia.
The League of Nations prooved to be powerless and uninfluential. See the story of their failure below from Wikipedia under the heading of The League of Nations. Sanctions could also hurt the League members, so they were reluctant to comply with them. When, during the Second Italo-Abyssinian War, the League accused Benito Mussolini's soldiers of targeting Red Cross medical tents, Mussolini responded that Ethiopians were not fully human, therefore the human rights laws did not apply. Benito Mussolini stated that "The League is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out." After a number of notable successes and some early failures in the 1920s, the League ultimately proved incapable of preventing aggression by the Axis powers in the 1930s. In May 1933, the League was powerless to convince Adolf Hitler that Franz Bernheim,[4] a Jew, was protected under the minority clauses established by the League in 1919 (that all minorities were fully human and held equal rights among all men). Hitler claimed these clauses violated Germany's sovereignty. Germany withdrew from the League, soon to be followed by many other aggressive powers. The onset of World War II showed that the League had failed its primary purpose, which was to avoid any future world war. The United Nations replaced it after the end of the war and inherited a number of agencies and organizations founded by the League.
The invasion took place in 1935, and although the civilized world was disgusted, no countries declared war on Italy in an attempt to save Ethiopia. The League of Nations proved itself largely powerless to stop this aggression. Ethiopia had a small and poorly equipped army which was no match for the modern Italian army and air force. Italy also used poison gas against the Ethiopians, as Japan had done against the Manchurians five years earlier. After Mussolini entered World War II, the British defeated Italian forces in Ethiopia, and Addis Ababa became the first capital city liberated from the Axis.
The League of Nations often resorted to appeasement as a strategy to maintain peace and stability in the face of aggressive actions by member states. By allowing minor territorial infringements or conflicts to go unchecked, the League aimed to prevent larger wars and maintain diplomatic relations among countries. This approach, however, ultimately proved ineffective, as it emboldened aggressor nations like Italy and Japan, leading to further violations and the League's eventual failure to prevent World War II.
The League of Nations aimed to achieve collective security through diplomatic means, including negotiation, arbitration, and the imposition of economic sanctions against aggressor states. It sought to resolve disputes peacefully, encouraging member nations to cooperate and support one another in the face of aggression. The League's Covenant also included provisions for collective military action, although this was less effectively implemented due to lack of commitment from major powers. Ultimately, the League's reliance on collective will and moral authority proved insufficient to prevent conflicts.
