Detailed explanation-1: -Significant failures Fascist dictatorships took power in Germany, Italy and Japan, which were intent on empire-building and these countries defied the League. Japan conquered Manchuria in 1932. The League objected, but could do nothing. When the League supported China, Japan left the League.
Detailed explanation-2: -Occupation of the Ruhr worsened the economic crisis in Germany, and German civilians engaged in acts of passive resistance and civil disobedience, during which 130 were killed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ultimately, the League of Nations fell short of succeeding its goal of world peace. This caused the domino effect of the Treaty of Versailles failure, German aggression, appeasement, and intolerance that caused World War II.
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the League of Nations was successful in small ways in the 1920s, stopping small wars and improving lives. But it could not defend the Treaty of Versailles, it failed to get disarmament, and it could not persuade powerful countries to stop fighting.
