“The League failed in the 1930’s because it faced greater challenges than in the 1920’s”
I disagree with this statement because the League faced just as many difficult challenges in the 1920’s as well as the 1930’s. I think one of the reasons as to why it had failed in the 1930’s was because most people had lost faith in the League because of some decisions made in the 1920’s. The incident in Corfu with Mussolini is a good example of this because Mussolini manipulated the League members into changing the unanimous decision made by the League. From this incident other countries saw that even the “World Police” could not control some countries and that sense of collective security had gone just as fast as it had come, as different countries could “get away with murder” and nothing would be done about it. However all the incidents it had failed to resolve were covered up by the numerous international agreements; The Dawes Plan, Locarno Treaties and The Kellog-Briand Pact e.t.c. which brought about great optimism, even though some countries had no intention of abiding to them.
