Detailed explanation-1: -The League did not have a standing army of its own, instead relied on the armies of its member nations for military intervention and any member nation that lent its army for such a cause there was always an unmitigated risk of it having demanding compensation for its trouble.
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: -The League of Nations was ultimately ineffective in its goal of promoting cooperation and maintaining global peace, and a key reason for its failure was the fact that the United States never joined.
