Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The League of Nations could not prevent German & Italian aggression against other nations because it
A
had no standing army and no real power to enforce its decrees
B
supported German and Italian aggression
C
focused only on Japanese aggression
D
focused on keeping a peace within Europe and avoiding another world war
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -They used trading sanctions to place economic roadblocks in the way of countries who were being aggressive toward other countries. The League could use arbitration, through which the disagreeing countries could discuss their issues peacefully to reach a mutually-agreed-upon outcome.

Detailed explanation-3: -American absence defanged the League, making it unable to effectively enforce its decisions, as without America’s military presence the League lost the ability to create a formidable standing army, and so none was established.
