    Moreover, the LoN did not have their own army or military to actually take much action against other militaries such as Japan. This is because the actual army by LoN would be formed on a volunteer basis where countries were stuck in a self-preservation mindset. Hence, they did not have enough resources and manpower to overcome these aggressors either. 

    Examples of powerful armies: Nazi was forming on one hand and Japan had strong military too!

    Countries were also too terrified to step in since they wanted to prevent any possible war

    - Boiled down to Mussolini’s decision
    - Other international powers failed to stop them: emphasising that aggressors can get away with their actions 
    - Key detail: 1935 (use of poison gas), and yet they denied such use of gas on civilians
    - Other democracies did not want to be confrontational and thus colluded with Italian atrocities
    - It can be seen that moral boundaries were proliferated, and yet the other powers did not step in
    - Ultimately, this was in a sense ‘resolved’ by the Italian citizens (rectifying their mistakes as a country) > the inability of the Leagure in upholding the values & their aims as an international organisation

    Hence, Japan was allowed to leave the LON and invade Manchuria with no consequences
    This gave the green light for powerful emerging powers to invade territories, without any form of punishment
    Did they actually want to help? Or was it for self preservation? 
    Did not want to interfere due to past traumatic experiences]]>     2023-04-27 00:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/cautmw0naljx3swr/wish/2569512879     https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/cautmw0naljx3swr/wish/2569513365 They had a traumatising experience In World War One and didn’t want to have that experience again and confront the atrocities. ]]> 2023-04-27 00:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/cautmw0naljx3swr/wish/2569513365 https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/cautmw0naljx3swr/wish/2569513579 Countries were too afraid to step in and stop the aggressors, as they were afraid a confrontation would lead them to be involved in the war. Moreover, they did not have an international army or military to keep countries in check. They also had a “traumatising” experience in WW1 and few politicians would dare to step in.]]> 2023-04-27 00:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/cautmw0naljx3swr/wish/2569513579 https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/cautmw0naljx3swr/wish/2569515075 They were unable to enforce the rules of the League as the Allied powers did not want to offend more countries by confronting the aggressor as it may lead to another to potential war. They were already drained from WW1 so they did not want a repeat of war. ]]> 2023-04-27 00:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/cautmw0naljx3swr/wish/2569515075 https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/cautmw0naljx3swr/wish/2569515264 They did not enforce their rules harshly and could not enforce security, as seen in Japan’s invasion. This caused people to undermine its validity and ability to control other nations. The league did not enforce many punishments, which caused aggressor states to continue on with invasion as there were minimal consequences for breaking the LON’s rules]]> 2023-04-27 00:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/cautmw0naljx3swr/wish/2569515264 https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/cautmw0naljx3swr/wish/2569518447 japan’s invasion of manchuria started in 1931, and was the trigger to world war 2. it was a challenge to the league as japan had great power and influence as an aggressor. the league did not take any action as the international community did not want to involve themselves in any conflict that did not concern them. japan was able to successfully invade manchuria and other counties took japans example as a failure of the league as they were not efficient in resolving conflicts and controlling aggressors. thus more more powers started to defy the league’s rule. ]]> 2023-04-27 00:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/cautmw0naljx3swr/wish/2569518447
