Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -After some notable successes and some early failures in the 1920s, the League ultimately proved incapable of preventing aggression by the Axis powers in the 1930s. The credibility of the organization was weakened by the fact that the United States never joined, and Japan, Italy, Germany and Spain quit.

Detailed explanation-2: -The American Senate voted against America joining the League of Nations, despite it being Woodrow Wilson’s idea. Other important countries such as Germany and the USSR were not allowed to join when the League was formed.

Detailed explanation-3: -September 18, 1934 general meeting of the League of Nations adopted a resolution on the admission of the USSR into the League and the inclusion of its representative to its Board as a permanent member.

Detailed explanation-4: -Many historians believe that if America had joined the League, there would have been a lot more support in preventing conflicts. Other major powers such as Germany and the Soviet Union were not allowed to join.

Detailed explanation-5: -Russia was expelled out of League of Nations for invading Finland and USA never joined the league, ironic because it was America who designed it and these were the two major countries who were not members of League of Nations. Was this answer helpful?
