Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The League’s primary goals were stated in its Covenant. They included preventing wars through collective security and disarmament and settling international disputes through negotiation and arbitration.

Detailed explanation-2: -By establishing a bond of solidarity between Member States, the League is considered the first attempt to build a system of collective security. This principle relied on a simple idea: an aggressor against any Member State should be considered an aggressor against all the other Member States.

Detailed explanation-3: -The League of Nations was an international organization, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, created after the First World War to provide a forum for resolving international disputes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The central, basic idea of the movement was that aggressive war is a crime not only against the immediate victim but against the whole human community. Accordingly it is the right and duty of all states to join in preventing it; if it is certain that they will so act, no aggression is likely to take place.

Detailed explanation-5: -The League did not have military powers and this acted as a challenge when dealing with hostile countries. Sanctions were not applied properly since the member states did not work together and formed separate pact with aggressive countries, thereby making the presence of the League irrelevant.
