Detailed explanation-1: -The United States never joined so for many the League was ineffectual. Germany, after the Locarno Pact 1925 managed to secure negotiations for Germany to join. In September 1926, Germany was admitted to the League, to join all the other great powers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Germany joined in 1926 and remained a member until Adolf Hitler withdrew the country from the League in 1933.
Detailed explanation-3: -As part of his policy of fulfilment, Gustav Stresemann wanted to steer Germany into the League of Nations. This international organisation was set up by the Treaty of Versailles and Germany joined in September 1926.
Detailed explanation-4: -In total, 63 states became members of the League of Nations (with at most 60 at the same time), which represents a great majority of the states existing at that time. However, the League never succeeded to become a truly universal organization.
