Detailed explanation-1: -The League lacked its own armed force and depended on the Great Powers to enforce its resolutions, keep to its economic sanctions, and provide an army when needed. However, the Great Powers were often reluctant to do so. Sanctions could hurt League members, so they were reluctant to comply.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -After some notable successes and some early failures in the 1920s, the League ultimately proved incapable of preventing aggression by the Axis powers in the 1930s.
Detailed explanation-4: -The League’s goals included disarmament, preventing war through collective security, settling disputes between countries through negotiation diplomacy and improving global welfare. The diplomatic philosophy behind the League represented a fundamental shift in thought from the preceding hundred years.
