The various parts of the league did not work well together and it was hard to take effective action. The secretariat was understaffed and disorganized. Authorization needs unanimous votes and this gave the permanent members of the Council the power to veto, leading to the league of nations being ineffective and indecisive.

The League of Nations lacked the authority and credibility to enforce its will because of its close association to the Treaty of Versailles. The League was established by the Treaty of Versailles,and soon came to be seen as a league for victorious nations.

The major powers viewed their own concerns and interests as more important than the League's goal of world peace and security. This caused Britain to suffer the following military casualties in World war 1: approximately 658700 dead, 2032150 wounded, 359150 missing. In addition the League aimed to achieve disarmament, which meant reducing the military capabilities of all nations. As such the League members were unwilling to disarm as it would affect their ability to protect their interests and territories. The atmosphere of distrust that remained after the war further affected the relations between the powers, contributing towards the League's failure.

The post-wars attitudes of the major powers affected their willingness to help maintain world peace and security. Most of the member countries of the League suffered from the impact of World War I. They therefore did not have sufficient military power to apply sanctions or deal with military threats from a powerful country. Due to this, countries were unwilling to use sanctions or to involved in military conflicts. As such, the League Of Nations were unable to achieve collective security.

Disarmament, which meant reducing the military capabilities of all nations.However, the League members were unwilling to disarm as it would affect their ability to protect their interests and territories.There was a lack of trust between the members of the League of Nations so they were unwilling to disarm, making them defenseless against each other. Therefore, the league failed in accomplishing one of main aims which is disarmament.

The League was hampered by structural weakness including the lack of authority and limited membership. The various parts of the League of Nations did not work well together and it was hard to take effective action. The Secretariat was understaffed and disorganised. The Conference of Ambassadors often made decisions that should have been made by the League itself. in addition, the working relationship between the General Assembly and the Council was not clearly defined.
Authorisation for any action required both and unanimous vote by the council and a two third majority vote in an Assembly. the requirement for unanimity came about because the most influential members of the league did not want other nations to control their actions. unanimous voting gave the permanent members of the council the power of veto. with so many nations represented in the league , it was extremely difficult to obtain unanimous consent for any decision.

The League of Nations was closely associated with the Treaty Versailles and other countries that were on the other side of the treaty and were unhappy.
The League of Nations's peacekeeping measures were ineffective.Strong offending nations ignored criticisms and condemnations, the League of Nations did not have an army to enforce military sanctions, were not willing to get involved militarily, members did not want their economy to be affected and offending league members could withdraw from the league.

The League of Nations did not have the necessary economic and military backup of the USA as they refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles and preferred to engage in foreign affairs on their own terms at their own pace, rather than commit themselves to the League.

After WW1, many countries suffered long term damages of the war. They therefore could not pose sanctions or face threats from a powerful country. Despite Britan and France being strong enough to deal with a military threat, they were unwilling to be involved in military conflicts. They chose instead to chose a policy of appeasement to avoid war. In the face of military threat, like the one from Nazi Germany, they decided to negotiate. They did not hold a firm stance and were weak. Thus, letting Germany do what they wanted and against the Treaty of Versailles.

The league wanted to implement disarmament to further reduce the ability of countries to wage war. Military capabilities would be reduced through international agreements. However, none of the nations wanted to disarm themselves. As that would make them vulnerable and easy targets for other nations to invade them. This suggests that the disarmament to be a failure. Hence, the nations disagreed with each other and failed to achieve diplomacy with each other through disarmament.

Feedback from Group 5:

wongliru — 2021-01-19 05:08:20 UTC

So how did this lead to the failure?
They could not come to decisions because of the requirement of unanimous vote, therefore they could never take actions, making them indecisive and by extension, ineffective.
when decisions cannot be made, the league of nations will be viewed as indecisive and

The various parts of the league did not work well together and it was hard to take effective action. The secretariat was understaffed and disorganized. Authorization needs unanimous votes and this gave the permanent members of the Council the power to veto. This resulted to the league not being able to take some actions even if it was necessary. Thus, the league of nations was ineffective and indecisive, contributing to its failure.

Because of their non-interventionist policy which was to avoid forming alliances with other nations so that they will not be part of wars that do not directly threaten its own interests and defences. The League of Nations did not have the necessary economic and military backup of the USA as they refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles and preferred to engage in foreign affairs on their own terms at their own pace, rather than commit themselves to the League.
