Detailed explanation-1: -Italy also began as a permanent member of the Council but withdrew in 1937. The League had accepted Germany as a member in 1926, deeming it a “peace-loving country", but Adolf Hitler pulled Germany out when he came to power in 1933.

Detailed explanation-2: -Germany was not an original member of the League of Nations when it was established in 1920. Germany joined in 1926 and remained a member until Adolf Hitler withdrew the country from the League in 1933.

Detailed explanation-3: -Entry into the League was needed for the Locarno Pact to come into operation. Germany was given great power status on the Council of the League as a permanent member and as a result had the power to veto decisions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Germany was not allowed to join the League in 1919. As Germany had started the war, according to the Treaty of Versailles, one of her punishments was that she was not considered to be a member of the international community and, therefore, she was not invited to join.

Detailed explanation-5: -German Entry and the Locarno Treaties The security pacts concluded at Locarno and signed at London, December 1, 1925, provided that the treaties should enter into full force as soon as all the ratifications had been deposited and Germany had become a member of the League of Nations.
