How far was the LoN to blame for WW2?

Causes

  • Manchuria
  • Abyssinia

Effects

  • The failure in Manchuria showed that the League was very weak in stopping invasions and war. Other leaders such as Mussolini and Hitler felt confident that they could invade without the intervention of the League
  • This again showed the League could not deal with aggression effectively and this could be due to having no army. France and Britain undermined the League showing it was useless

Overall summary

The League showed to powerful world leaders that it was very weak and could be easily ignored. Hitler and Mussolini used this to invade and be aggressive with no real consequence. However you could say that the League failed due to the lack of support from the countries inside it.
