What ever happened to the League of Nations after WWII?

I think there for, I am I think. am I? -
Short story, it was completely useless and disbanded. As always at this hour I have to get going to work, but if this question isn't answered when I get home I'll expound.Or better yet, why don't you kill yourself. No, really, die. Drop dead, don't leave a note, in fact burn your house while your little ego is stuck in a bench vice so that you'll also incenerate yourslef and everything you own with it. Because that's all you're worth. You're not even wirh thte time it'll take for the house to burn down, so just kill yourself. You're a waste of space. You are nothing, you always will be nothing. Don't leave a note, you're not worth the ink. - Tyger -
Without the support of America it was effectively useless and went under.Comment

The League of Nations did nothing but talk, but no action. Its the precursor to the UN, and the only reason the UN is here today is because of the USA support.Comment

yeh, LON was set up by the US and the US never joined, congress refused. It was part of Woodrow Wilson's 14 points and his ultra-liberal policy to free the world from war. It said if any nation attacks another it will impose sanctions on the aggressor....twice it didn't do that and so it effectively failed

I remember reading that they passed resolutions they had no authority to enforce, and no one followed.Comment

The LON have no way to enforce its policies. It had not means of using other countries forces to insure world peace and tranquility. They fixed this with the UN. The LON could have survived with or without the US.Comment

It was basicaly a post WW1 version of the UN. the US would join, so it didn't have much power. Countries that were in the LON started attacking eachother, and they did nothing but tell them to stop, and expell them from the LON, if the country didn't resign by it's own will. Then the country kept on attacking. This made lots of countries see how stupid and powerless it was.Comment

it was pretty much extinct by the time WWII happened
In China, Japan invaded and in North Africa, Italy invaded. the LON should have held to its promices and everyone attacked Jap and Italy, however France and GB (mainly) were unwilling to go to war over those two worthless plots of land, asthey saw them. Thus, they didn't.
to blame the LON's failure on one thing, you can pretty much say it failed because it was unwilling to act on its charter (collective security)Comment

Ok College Boy and a few others do enough sabre rattling for their own countries....but what the hell are you saying? Japan a member of the LON or even China...no they weren't and as for Italy invading North africa and France and England doing nothing....sorry we were already at war with Germany and as soon as Italy aligned itself with Germany and signed the agreement as an Axis power we were then automatically at war with Italy and reacted as we had to. WWI only had the US involved after a german plot to get Mexico to attack the US was discovered nothing to do with that liner getting sunk and WWII...we all know why US involvement happened there.Originally posted by Kevmaster

Not saying for one minute that US involvement in either conflict didn't help....WWI got a lot of americans killed early on as the US Generals didn't listen to the Generals who had already been fighting for 3 years and the tactics employed were the same as France and the UK had tried at the beginning to no use...but since when did a General listen to others.Comment
