Partially, it was because at the time many felt that the terms of the Treaty of Versailles were too severe, however, the bigger reason was the fear of war which many politicans of the time felt, since the memory of the horrors of WWI was still felt.

The country that would have had to act - and quickly - was France. (The French had troops only 60-70 miles away). However, France was deeply divided at the time between Left and Right and was heading for a general election. It was in a particularly bad position to undertake any vigorous action in foreign affairs.
