How successful was the League of Nations in the 1920s The statement which I agree most with is: "the League's successes in the 1920s were small-scale, its failures had a higher profile."
How successful was the League of Nations in the 1920s
The statement which I agree most with is: “the League’s successes in the 1920s were small-scale, its failures had a higher profile.”
It was composed of several permanent members France, Great Britain, Italy and Japan. The first blow to the League of Nations was that America, who was the most important country and the only country who had the power to make it work, did not join. That meant Britain and France had to lead, the flaw was that both of them were weakened by the First World War and both of them had their own agenda. Britain’s main priority was to look after its empire and start rebuilding their trade, so Britain was not prepared to send its army to stop aggression around the world for the League. France’s main priority was to look for any allies against Germany as it still feared that Germany would invade her. So France was not likely to send its army and upset other countries that might be against Germany. So we could already see that the League had no actual power to stop countries being aggressive to each other.
