Question

With reference to the Second World War, answer the following question:

Write down two factors that led to the failure of the League of Nations.

Answer 1

Two factors that led to the failure of the League of Nations are:

1. All the great powers were not its members. The United State was not a member. In 1925, Germany joined the organisation while Russia was allowed entry in 1934. Later, both Germany and Japan left the league. The league, therefore, lacked universal representation.
2. The rise of dictatorship in Italy and Germany lead to the weakening of the League of Nations.
