Chapter 6: Failure of the League of Nations

This video shows how the League of Nations failed to respond to aggression. In 1935, Italy invaded Abyssinia, but the League could not respond effectively.



The video stops after 2 plus minutes but the soundtrack continues playing. You can either stop the video or just continue listening to the music.

When watching the video, think of the following points:
1. Why could the League not respond to aggressive countries such as Italy?
2. How did this lead to the failure of the League?
3. There are three reasons for the League of Nation's failure in the 1930s. Besides the failure to control aggressive countries, its member nations cared more for themselves and the League, and it could not get countries to disarm. Which do you think was the most important reason for the League's failure and why?
