A
refusal of the German government to sign the Treaty of Versailles.
B
ineffectiveness of the League of Nations.
C
growing tension between the United states and the Soviet Union.
D
conflict between the Hapsburg and the Romanov families.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, the failure of the League of Nations was the primary cause of World War II because it led to a series of events that triggered German aggression, ultimately causing World War II. In 1919, the victors of World War I came together to form the Treaty of Versailles, a precursor to the League of Nations.

Detailed explanation-2: -There were a variety of reasons for this failure, many connected to general weaknesses within the organization, such as voting structure that made ratifying resolutions difficult and incomplete representation among world nations. Additionally, the power of the League was limited by the United States’ refusal to join.

Detailed explanation-3: -Why did the League of Nations fail? There had to be unanimity for decisions that were taken. Unanimity made it really hard for the League to do anything. The League suffered big time from the absence of major powers-Germany, Japan, Italy ultimately left-and the lack of U.S. participation.
