- The league of nations and international peace
- The league of Nations was created in 1919-20 with high hopes of maintaining world peace
- The USA voted not to join - an this was a fatal weakness
- The depression affected leading trading countries, including Japan
- In 1931 the Japanese invaded Manchuria; the League was slow to meet and act
- Only victorious countries at first were allowed to join
- The structure was flawed, with the Assembly and the Council having little real power to act with no standing army
- 1935 the Italians invaded Abyssinia
- The League acted with limited sanctions over Abyssinia and was shown to be weak
- In the 1920's some initiatives occured outside the League such as the Locarno Treaties.
