- Why was Manchuria a failure for the League?
- It shows the self interest of Britain and France
- They weren't prepares to send troops or spend money to sort out a problem that is in an area of the world they are not heavily involved in,
- Japan leaves the League
- This is embarrassing as she is one of the permanent members of the council so should be the biggest supporter of the League,
- It shows that even the main members of the League are not prepared to uphold its values if it suits their interests not to,
- It sends a message to other aggressive countries that the League is powerless to stop them
- Italy will take over Abyssinia,
- Germany will remilitarise the Rhineland,
- It highlights the problems with economic sanctions
- The USA is Japan's main trading partner so they are useless,
- Countries like Britain and France dont want their trade affected,
- This is the first major failure for the League but it is 'swept under the carpet' as it was so far away from Europe,
- It shows the self interest of Britain and France
