Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: One of the main weaknesses of the League of Nations was that it had no army, so it could not enforce any of its edicts or sanctions. Another weakness was that the United States and Russia, two of the strongest countries, were not members.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Failures in 1920s: The League failed to bring about disarmament and also to solve several problems. These failures included: Vilna, 1920, Russo-Polish War 1920-21, Greece vs. Turkey 1920-21, Memel 1923, the occupation of Ruhr 1923, Corfu Incident 1923. The League often failed to carry the self-determination policy out.
Detailed explanation-4: -Appeasement in Europe allowed it to continue until finally, Germany’s behavior could no longer be tolerated. Therefore, the failure of the League of Nations was the primary cause of World War II because it led to a series of events that triggered German aggression, ultimately causing World War II.
