Question

14. Who should shoulder the blame for the failure of the United States in joining the League

of Nations? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: Britain and France

Explanation: The failures of the League in the 1930s were not only because of aggressor nations undermining its authority, but also down to its own members. Britain and France, the two most influential members, ignored the League in their efforts to appease Hitler - actions that arguably led to the outbreak of the Second World War.
