- How did the league react to the Manchurian crisis?
- The league didn't want a big fight and people felt Japan should own manchuria
- Britain and France felt it was too far away to be a real concern
- Chinas politics were disorganised so the league was pleased Japan was trying to introduce order in the region
- The league issued a moral condemnation and told Japan to withdraw its troops but Japan refused and there was little the league could do about it
- The league couldn't afford to send troops so far away to fight someone else's battles and Britain and France were still facing depression
- Japans main trade member was USA and USA weren't in the league so couldn't sue trade sanctions
- The league sent Lord Lytton to investigated and in 1932 published the Lytton report
- this confirmed Japan were in the wrong and shouldn't of invaded manchuria
- Japan still ignored the league so they left and invaded more Chinese regions successfully
