Failure of the League; Regan, Daiki, Shaun, Kohtaro
F
French and British self interest - they look after their own interests rather than that of the League's.
In Abyssinia, they failed to take the situation seriously.
-They wanted to maintain relations with Mussolini.
-The British did not close the Suez canal.
-The League failed to implement sanctions fast enough, and as the US was not part of the League, it continued to sell to Italy.
In Manchuria, the League lacked the logistics to deal with the "Asian problem". Many of the League's members did not care what happened in that part of the world, as it did not really affect them.
The league acted very slowly while investigating, and when it ordered Japan to halt their invasion, they were ignored and powerless.

Economic depression led to the
rise of the dictators - and made League members less willing to impose sanctions for fear of harming their own trade.
In Italy, economic depression led to encouraging Mussolini to build an overseas empire to try and distract people's attention from the government's problems.
This lead to Abyssinian crisis Oct 1935 - Mussolini wanted among other things such as revenge, land for Italy and saw Abyssinia as a perfect opportunity due to their military inferiority.
In Japan, economic depression led to military leaders thinking more aggressively to acquire more resources to solve their economic resources.
This lead to the Manchurian crisis 1931 - Japan wanted resources to keep its economy alive, and they saw China as an opportunity as it was in a state of anarchy and was relatively defenseless.

Japan's main export to USA was silk, which was considered a luxury good. When USA was hit with the great depression, the demand for silk diminished.
