Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Japan refused to leave Manchuria. Instead, Japan left the League. Many countries had important trading links with Japan. The League could not agree on sanctions or even a ban on weapons sales.

Detailed explanation-3: -Japan had invaded Manchuria on September 19, 1931 and seized control over the country. This was a violation of the rules of the League of Nations, so Japan was officially reprimanded and left the organization.

Detailed explanation-4: -It began with four permanent members – Great Britain, France, Italy, and Japan – and four non-permanent members that were elected by the Assembly for a three-year term. The first non-permanent members were Belgium, Brazil, Greece, and Spain. The composition of the council was changed several times.
