Japan violated the League of Nations in 1931 when it invaded Manchuria.

The League's chief weapon, economic sanctions, was ineffective.

Japan, ruled by a reactionary Emperor under the influence of generals with expansionist ambitions, simply ignored the League's demand that it leave China and instead withdrew from the League.
