How did the Great Deression make the work of the League of Nations more difficult after 1929?
First of all, because of the great depression, countries like Japan and Italy wanted to expand their empires so as to get hold of new economies, so Japan invaded Manchuria in china which is a rich region, thus it would improve the falling economy. But the League of Nations was not able to impose economic sanctions over Japan, because 1. The USA, Japan's main trading partner would keep trading with Japan. 2. Non of the members of the League wanted to stop trading because it would worsen the bad economy. This was also the case in the Abyssinian Crisis, Which have lead to the serious underestimation of the League, thus the League lost it's authority which eventually lead to it's downfall in 1940 and the second World War.
How did The Wall Street Crash affected the League of Nations?
At the time of the crash, America was the the biggest creditor nation in the world. That means that America would loan money to other nations for a set interest rate upon return. Once America stopped operating off of the Gold Standard, inflation started to slowly set in. Once the Market became popular, hyperinflation became very large and was a ticking time bomb. The Market crashed, America had too much money in circulation, and America fell into a depression. The countries that were relying on the U.S. were unable to get more money from the U.S. and the League of Nations had to deal with the smaller countries. Although this happened, the LON wasn't hit as hard because the U.S. never became part of the LON.
Why did the League of Nations fail?
The League of Nations was the first intergovernment organisation that was established after World War 1 in order to try and maintain the peace. Unfortunately the League failed miserably in its intended goal: to prevent another world war from happening (WW2 broke out only two decades later). The idea was for the League of Nations to prevent wars through disarmament, collective security and negotiation. It was also involved in other issues such as drug trafficking, arms trade and global health. Although the League disbanded during WW2, it was replaced with the United Nations, which is still going strong today.The League of Nations had several integral weaknesses that finally led to its demise.The League was supposed to present the world and encompass all countries, but many countries never even joined the organization, of which the U.S. was the most prevalent one. Some members only remained members for a short while, before ending their membership. 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.The international relations of member countries conflicted with the League’s requirements for collective security.The League didn’t have its own armed forces and depended on members to act, but none of the member countries were ready for another war and didn’t want to provide military support.Pacifism was a great problem: the Leagues two largest members, Britain and France, were very reluctant to resort in sanctions and military actions.Disarmament was highly advocated by the League, which meant that it deprived countries that were supposed to act with military force on its behalf when necessary from means to do so.When countries started to attack others in order to try and expand, the League didn’t have any power to stop them.
