Detailed explanation-1: -These failures included: Vilna, 1920, Russo-Polish War 1920-21, Greece vs. Turkey 1920-21, Memel 1923, the occupation of Ruhr 1923, Corfu Incident 1923. The League often failed to carry the self-determination policy out.
Detailed explanation-2: -The absence of the United States as a League member has often been attributed as a main cause of its failure. Having proposed its creation, Wilson toured America to gain public support for the international project. Unfortunately, he was fiercely opposed in Congress.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most important for Wilson, the League would guarantee the territorial integrity and political independence of member states, authorize the League to take “any action…to safeguard the peace, ‘’ establish procedures for arbitration, and create the mechanisms for economic and military sanctions.
Detailed explanation-4: -The lack of unanimity among the members of the League hindered its smooth functioning. Italy, Japan and Germany refused to be bound by the orders of the League which left Britain and France to be the only powers in the League. This lack of support by these countries also became responsible for the League’s downfall.
