- Why did the actions of the League in handling the Manchurian Crisis lead to failure?
- It took a year to report on the situation,
- By this point, Japan had already invaded Manchuria and settled in,
- They used this time to prepare for invading more of china and to ready their army if necessary,
- They didn't impose economic sanctions
- This is because the USA was Japan's main trading partners so it would have been pointlessm
- This means there is no non-aggressive way to make Japan leave Manchuria,
- Britain wanted to maintain good relations with Japan so didn't want to upset her with sanctions,
- The League didn't even ban the sale of arms
- They were worried Japan would retaliate and it could lead to war,
- Britain and France had no intention of using their armed forces against Japan
- It was too far away and didn't personally affect them so it wasn't worth the cost,
- Only the USSR and America had influence in this area and neither were in the League,
- It took a year to report on the situation,
