Causes for the failure of the League of Nations
Back to Topic list of 10th Social Science
The League of Nations did not succeed in its prime aim of settling disputes among nations through peaceful means. Its failure was not its fault. It was indeed the failure of the member nations because they were responsible for it.
1) The United States of America, whose President was responsible f o r founding the League of Nations, could not become a member. Hence the league looked like a building without deep foundation.
2) Whenever the member nations were not happy with the attitude of the League, they were permitted to leave the Organisation.
3) In 1931 Japan captured Manchuria and renamed it Manchuko and made it a puppet state. When the League protested against this, Japan resigned from the League. It weakened the League.
4) The League of Nations did not have a permanent force or army of i t s own to implement its policies.
5) The rise of dictatorship in Italy, Japan and Germany weakened t h e chances of success of the League.
6) The statesmen who dominated the League lacked practical wisdom. Their approach remained somewhat Utopian and it began to be called by some as “Geneva Conference of Fools”.
7) The above factors where responsible for the failure of league of nations. Yet it tried its level best to solve international problems and paved way for the formation of U.N.O after the second world war.
