HOW FAR WAS THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS A COMPLETE FAILURE? EXPLAIN (10)
AGREE: MANCHURIA
the LofN was a complete failure when it dealt with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931
there fore it's inability do deal with the invasion goes against one of the 4 key aims that the league had set up
too slow to act
therefore JP took more land
more aggresive
Litton 1 year to get a report
economic sanctions were useless
talked about oil sanctions
USA still traded with JP
they still had the energy and fuel they needed to mobilise their forces
so they could still mount an invasion
self interest of GB a FR caused by deprssion
GB had naval bases in HK and SP
great depression
major members not willing to use sanctions
not willing to risk conflict with JP
AGREE: ABYSSINIA
Another way the League failed was the invasion of Italy in Abyssinia
therefore they failed to keep the peace
failed to stop aggression
GB did not close the suez canal
helps Mussolini continue his invasion
Hoare-Laval
to give 2/3 of Abyssinia to Italy
in secret
undermining the league
oil sanctions were banned but GB still provided coal
therefore still able to invade and doesn't affect the Italian economy
oil sanctions tool too long
DISAGREE: PEACE KEEPING IN THE 1920'S
the LofN was not a complete failure and actually resolved peacekeeping in the 1920's
therefore it achieved one of the main aims of the league=discouraging agression
also shows that they had power because countries listened
Aaland islands (1921)
resolved dispute
both countries accepted desision to return to finland
war was avoided
Both ready to get to war over it
Upper Silesia
resolved dispute
carried out plebiscite and Poland and Germany accept
industrial land went to Germany : agricultural land went to Poland
50:50 vote
DISAGREE:SOLVING SOCIAL PROBLEMS
the League tried to solve social problems using a series of commissions and the ILO
there fore this was a success because...
refugee
what it did
how was that a success (is the explanation)
slavery
health committee
CONCLUSION
can't be a complete failure because it had some victories
in 1920's it was a success
overall it was a failure because we had WW2
