League of Nations was formed to prevent something like world war one from happening again. Sounds good doesn’t it? Sounds like a group of people with good intentions finally put their powers together for the better. Right? In my opinion the countries did try to put their powers together and prevent any other wars, but at the time of the great depression it is understandable that each country will have more greed towards strengthening and reviving ones country rather than someone else’s. I mean if you had a choice to kill yourself or kill this other person you just knew who would it be? Of course the other person. But when something as big as the league of nations is set and when you agree to join something that important it is more than important that you are responsible and contribute to it 100%. Obviously the countries that made up the league of nations did not contribute 100%.Thus we could say in the end the League of Nations consisted of many countries did not care too much about maintaining “world” peace.
When Manchuria was invaded by Japan, why didn’t the
League of Nations do anything about it? In the textbook it says that the League of Nations had tried to stop
Japan but they didn’t have enough power. I think this is a lie, as the
League of Nations consisted of many countries. Japan itself would not have been able to over power the League of Nations, had the
League of Nations really put forth its powers. As the League of Nations had failed with Japan it was more than obvious to other countries that the
League of Nations was very weak. Mussolini saw that the League of Nations was in fact not as powerful as it seemed and he attacked
Ethiopia. When Ethiopia requested help from the League of Nations, the League of Nations responded by simply telling
Italy to stop but they did not put forth any armies or other forces. Now more than obvious that the League of Nations is week, Germany started to go against the
League of Nations and started to enlarge the army size. Once again the
League of Nations did not do anything. At that time if the countries in the
League of Nations had put their differences aside and worked for world peace then maybe world war two could have been prevented and the millions of people who lost their lives would still be here.
