Detailed explanation-1: -The main aims of the organisation included disarmament, preventing war through collective security, settling disputes between countries through negotiation and diplomacy, and improving global welfare.
Detailed explanation-2: -Soviet Russia and the USA were not a part of the League of Nations. The League of Nations was an organisation formed based on 14 points presented by the then American President Woodrow Wilson during the Paris Peace Process on January 10, 1920.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, the League also had three great weaknesses. The USA, Russia and Germany were not members; without these powers, the League was too weak to make a big country do as it wished (for instance, Italy over Corfu in 1923). Also, the League’s organisation was a muddle, so when there was a crisis, no-one could agree.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
