Detailed explanation-1: -Why did the League of Nations fail? There had to be unanimity for decisions that were taken. Unanimity made it really hard for the League to do anything. The League suffered big time from the absence of major powers-Germany, Japan, Italy ultimately left-and the lack of U.S. participation.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main impact of the United States’ rejection of the League of Nations was that the organization ultimately collapsed. Furthermore, the U.S.’s reaction to and hostility toward the League weakened it, as its inception was predicated on the United States’ involvement.
Detailed explanation-3: -Membership in the League did not oblige a nation to join the Permanent Court of Justice, whereas all members of the UN are automatically parties to the Statute of the International Court of Justice, which is an integral part of the Charter.
Detailed explanation-4: -Although US President Woodrow Wilson was an enthusiastic proponent of the League, the United States did not officially join the League of Nations due to opposition from isolationists in Congress.
