The League failed in Manchuria and
Abyssinia because it WAS DUMB!
W
A
S
Weak
the League’s ‘powers’ were little more than going ‘tut-tut’. Sanctions did not work. It had no army.
America
the strongest nation in the world never joined; Britain and France were not strong enough to impose pace on their own
Structure
the League's organisation was muddled, so it took ages to do anything; members couldn’t agree, but decisions had to be
unanimous - this paralysed the League
D
Depression
the world-wide Depression made countries try to get more land and power; they were worried about themselves, not about
world peace
U
Unsuccessful
the more the League failed, the less people trusted it; in the end, everybody just ignored it
M
Members
the League’s main members let it down - Italy and Japan defied and left the League, France and Britain betrayed it
B
Big bullies
in the 1920s, the League had been quite successful with small, weak countries; in the 1930s, powerful countries like Germany,
Italy and Japan defied the League - they were too strong for the League to stop them
