An Unbalance Balance of Power - The Failure of the League of Nations

What Was the League of Nations?The League of Nations, abbreviated as LON (French: Société des Nations [s¿sjete de n¿sj¿¿], abbreviated as SDN or SdN), was the first worldwide intergovernmental organization, whose principal mission was to maintain world peace. This book thus argues that the League of Nations ultimately failed due to its lack of membership from the major world powers, its lack of unity in purpose, its lack of organization, and its lack of commitment to cause. Each of these weaknesses is discussed as well as the damage each inflicted on the believability and support of the coalition. The League of Nations was an international diplomatic group developed after World War I as a way to solve disputes between countries before they erupted into open warfare. A precursor to the United Nations, the League achieved some victories, but had a mixed record of success, sometimes putting self-interest before becoming involved with conflict resolution, while also contending with governments that did not recognize its authority. The League effectively ceased operations during World War II.
