JapanUSA
Germany
Italy
I have not workedsince last year.
I will vote for anyone whocan get the country back to
work.
We should ban all foreigngoods. That will protect the
jobs of our workers.If we had our own empire we would
have the resources we need.Economic depressions would not
damage us so much.
Reparations havecaused this mess.
We need tough leaders who willnot be pushed around by the
League of Nations or the USA.
The bank has closed. We’ve lost everything!

WORKSHEET 2.8Why did the League of Nations fail in the1930s?
Failure of the League
Absent powers – key countries, particularly the USA,
were not in the League.
Ineffective sanctions –sanctions either weren’t used
or didn’t work.
Lack of armed forces– the League had no troops
of its own.
Unfair treaty – theLeague’s job was to enforcetreaties that some members
thought were unfair.
Reaching decisions tooslowly – the League
took ages to act.
French and British self-interest – they looked after their own interests rather than
the League’s.
In Abyssinia, Britishand French forces could haveacted on behalf of the League,
but the British and Frenchgovernments refused.
In Manchuria, theLeague could not sendtroops there as it wasimpossible to reach.
