¶ … Responsible for the Failure of the League Nations Absence of extraordinary powers

Great powers refer to nations that have influential abilities and capabilities to exert force in any national or international happening. The League of Nations lacked enormous formidable powers who could participate in influencing decision-making processes. The covenant of the League of Nations was incorporated to be part of the peace settlement. Nonetheless, the league failed to be separated from the powers that could have had influential powers to its policies. Many nations were for the nation that the Treaty of Versailles in order to foster revenge activities.

The same idea had no plans to be rectified in the case that the plans never went as planned. Because these nations had failed to be part of the rectification processes, these nations failed to be members of the League of Nations. Because of this aspect, many nations failed to be part of the League of Nations. They had no plans to rectify the mistakes and policies that were directed at bringing the best practices out of the League of Nations. The absence of the great powers in the international organizations weakened the League of Nations' processes. For instance, Japan, Italy, and Germany left the League of Nations and let to its weakening and ultimate death.

Demolition of France and England

Initially, many nations were part of the League of Nations. Some of these nations were France and England. The dominance of these nations in the League of Nations had influence in other nations that were part of the League of Nations. For instance, the League of Nations had incorporated the great nations called the superpowers and the smaller nations. Nonetheless, England and France had immense influential that ultimately led to the death of the League of Nations. Initially, the organization of the League of Nations was transpired by the presence of many nations.

Many nations had been encouraged to have their signatories in order to participate and members of the League of Nations. Nonetheless, these nations had the camouflage to identify the intention of other nations like France and England in the League of Nations. As small nations withdrew from the league, it was possible to note that the dominance of some nations like France and England made many of the smaller and larger nations leave the entire process to the dominant nations. In the mean time, these nations left the League of Nations and formed other associations that were directed at having individualized intentions like protection of their national interests.

Rise of dictatorship

Dictatorship is another element that is to be counted as one of the causes that led to the fall of the League of Nations. Dictatorship refers to a situation where a nation or structure of governance has an individuated parameter of making and implementing decisions. The decisions are made without enough consent of the other parties making up the organization. Within the League of Nations, a number of nations acted as dictators. This happening did not please other nations that had formed collaborative directions in order to establish the League of Nations. Some of the dictator nations were Italy, Germany, and Japan. Their acts of dictatorship weakened the establishment and functioning of the League of Nations.

Japan had been accorded the respect to acquire fresh territories. Nonetheless, it involved in other unscrupulous patriotism that ultimately led to throwing of all international law and principles. Japan conquered Manchuria without any reaction from the League of Nations. In order to respond to forces from other nations, Japan had to give up her powers on the League of Nations and surrender. The league took action against Italy when it was accounted of aggression in Abyssinia. Because of the action of the League of Nations, Italy decided to leave the League of Nations. This means that many nations had to leave the League of Nations in order to perpetuate their dictatorial activities that were not in consent with the League of Nations acts.

Limitations of legal methods

The League of Nations lacked equitable legal structures and frameworks that could give it a solid foundation in the world. Legal structures refer to universal agreements and jurisdictional allowances that were supposed to come from all the nations involved. Legal frameworks could have given the League of Nations a forceful action when it comes to dealing with nations that had broken the acts of agreement. There were limited legal methods. The League of Nations demonstrated inefficiency in structure, and collaborative measures form the partisan nations. In most cases,...

No public opinion could facilitate the establishment of laws and regulations. For instance, when the League of Nations proposed a number of steps for adjudication, such steps should be disposed by other nations without much concern.
Loss of faith in the league

At the start of the League of Nations, many nations had set their belief in what it had to offer to the nations. For instance, the establishment of the League of Nations was a break through to many small nations since they saw this as a chance to expound their protection from aggression and other attacks from different groups and nations. In the mean time, powerful nations had faith that the establishment of the League of Nations would serve to offer equal protection to every nation in order to avoid overdependence on them by the smaller nations.

The establishment of the League of Nations was viewed to make a proposal that could lead to the establishment of a collective security. Such a security personnel would be concerned with fostering the interests of the league throughout the nation. Nonetheless, a collective security never came to be. Many nations acted in accordance to their own interests. The policies that appeared to come from the league were attributed to the different nations. The actualization of universal policies was not a success since most of the nations were not willing to follow suit. The principle of security weakened throughout the process. Because of the weakening of the security policy, many nations had to withdraw in fear of Hitler's aggression.

The security pillar was the main aspect that held the existence of the League of Nations. Failure of the security detailed enabled many nations to seek their own interests in respect of what their policies and legal frameworks dictated.

Constitutional defect

A number of legal defects led to the failure of the League of Nations. Constitution is a pillar of any association that is focused at fostering the ideas and interests of diverse people. The League of Nations had to adopt various constitutional implementations in order to exist as an independent body. The League of Nations was assigned to handle a number of dispute cases that were brought to its council. According to the League of Nations' article 11, most of the constitutional affairs and interests were to be handled by the council within the League of Nations offices.

Part of the body was to handle aspects contained in article 15 of the council. For instance, when cases and disputes involving aggression were brought to the council, the council had to establish unanimous justifications to the affected nations. The hostilities between the involved nations were to be resumed after a period of three months. Nonetheless, this was not agreeable between many nations since they aspired to live within the aspects dwelling in the League of Nations. The methods that were involved in solving internal disputes were not accrued to the fact that justice was required by the League of Nations and its followers. Because of failures to establish an equitable constitutional ruling, the League of Nations failed to exist (Ginneken 2006, p. 78).

Narrow Nationalism

Narrow nationalism existed in many nations that aspired to live within the precepts set by the League of Nations. For instance, many nations that were part of the League of Nations had to dominate their nationalism interests and connotations of living. France is one of the nations that were increasingly concerned with its national security. The Great Britain was also concerned with its own interests other than concentrating on the interests of the international community. Aspects of narrow nationalism rocked the existence and stability of the League of Nations.

Great Britain had more concern of its interests other than listening to the interests of the international trade. In the mean time, Japan dwelt in the fact that it had emerged from existing as one of the world powers. On the other hand, Italy was struggling to redress her image in the world. Besides these nations, Germany intended to retain its national prestige to the world. Moreover, it intended to deploy its military prowess in the international scene. All these combined designs shifted the existence of failure in the League of Nations. The narrowness of nationality between nations could not enable the League of Nations to exist and foster its universal interests in the world (Tucker et, al 2010, p. 57).

Lack of Mutual co-operation

Co-operation is another aspect…
