Explain the reasons why the League of Nations failed to maintain world security and peace.
Answer:
- Some European nations opposed the peace treaty because it favoured the allied nations that had fought against Germany.
- The United states of America did not support the league because it did not want to get involved in European affairs due to the terms of the Monroe doctrine.
- The membership of the organization was not all that inclusive. Some countries were left out while others were not given a chance to join.
- The league violated the objectives of maintaining world peace by supporting some nations claims against others.
- Most members were concerned with their sovereignty as opposed to interests of the league of nations/divided loyalty.
- Some members of the league adopted the policy of appeasement towards certain regimes in order to avoid confrontation thus weakening it.
- Shortage of funds made it difficult for the league to implement its programmes.
- The league lacked its own army to implement its decision, where peace was threatened. It depended on the goodwill of the members who were at times not reliable.
- The search for colonies diverted the members attention from the activities of the league of nations.
- The rise of dictatorship regimes in Europe weakened the league as these dictators refused to accept its resolutions.
- The economic depression of 1929 weakened most of the world economies, hence they were not able to support the league of Nation financially.
