The League lacked its own armed force and depended on the victorious <a href="/wiki/Allied_Powers_of_World_War_I" class="mw-redirect" title="Allied Powers of World War I">Allied Powers of World War I</a> (Britain, France, Italy and Japan were the initial permanent members of the Council) to enforce its resolutions, keep to its economic sanctions, or provide an army when needed. The <a href="/wiki/Great_power#Great_powers_at_war" title="Great power">Great Powers</a> were often reluctant to do so.

During the <a href="/wiki/Second_Italo-Ethiopian_War" title="Second Italo-Ethiopian War">Second Italo-Ethiopian War</a>, when the League accused Italian soldiers of targeting <a href="/wiki/International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement" title="International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement">International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement</a> medical tents, <a href="/wiki/Benito_Mussolini" title="Benito Mussolini">Benito Mussolini</a> responded that "the League is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out."<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>At its greatest extent from 28 September 1934 to 23 February 1935, it had 58 members. After some notable successes and some early failures in the 1920s, the League ultimately proved incapable of preventing aggression by the <a href="/wiki/Axis_powers" title="Axis powers">Axis powers</a> in the 1930s. Its credibility was weakened because the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> never joined.

The <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a> only joined in 1934 and was expelled in 1939 after <a href="/wiki/Winter_War" title="Winter War">invading Finland</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Furthermore, the League demonstrated an irresolute approach to sanction enforcement for fear it might only spark further conflict, further decreasing its credibility. One example of this hesitancy was the <a href="/wiki/Abyssinia_Crisis" title="Abyssinia Crisis">Abyssinia Crisis</a>, in which Italy's sanctions were only limited from the outset (coal and oil were not restricted), and later altogether abandoned despite Italy being declared the aggressors in the conflict. The onset of the <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">Second World War in 1939</a> showed that the League had failed its primary purpose: to prevent another world war.

Historian Peter Yearwood argues that when the new coalition government of <a href="/wiki/Lloyd_George_ministry" title="Lloyd George ministry">David Lloyd George</a> took power in December 1916, there was widespread discussion among intellectuals and diplomats of the desirability of establishing such an organisation. When Lloyd George was challenged by Wilson to state his position with an eye on the postwar situation, he endorsed such an organisation. Wilson himself included in his <a href="/wiki/Fourteen_Points" title="Fourteen Points">Fourteen Points</a> in January 1918 a "league of nations to ensure peace and justice." British foreign secretary, <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Balfour" title="Arthur Balfour">Arthur Balfour</a>, argued that, as a condition of durable peace, "behind international law, and behind all treaty arrangements for preventing or limiting hostilities, some form of international sanction should be devised which would give pause to the hardiest aggressor."<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The war had had a profound impact, affecting the social, political and economic systems of Europe and inflicting psychological and physical damage.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBell200716_34-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBell200716-34"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Several empires collapsed: first the <a href="/wiki/Russian_Empire" title="Russian Empire">Russian Empire</a> in February 1917, followed by the <a href="/wiki/German_Empire" title="German Empire">German Empire</a>, <a href="/wiki/Austro-Hungarian_Empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Austro-Hungarian Empire">Austro-Hungarian Empire</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Ottoman Empire</a>.

According to the British, who had been awarded a League of Nations <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Iraq_(Mandate_administration)" class="mw-redirect" title="Kingdom of Iraq (Mandate administration)">mandate over Iraq</a> in 1920 and therefore represented Iraq in its foreign affairs, Mosul belonged to Iraq; on the other hand, the new Turkish republic claimed the province as part of its historic heartland. A critical analysis of the League's conflict resolution mechanisms highlights the distinction between interim peace and sustainable peace. The Mosul dispute resolution exemplifies the concept of interim peace, where an externally imposed decision succeeded in halting immediate hostilities but failed to address deeper socio-political dynamics, such as ethnic and territorial grievances. While the League’s intervention temporarily stabilized the situation, it did not create the conditions for sustainable peace—defined as a voluntary, equitable agreement addressing core issues of justice and self-determination. This dichotomy underscores the limitations of early 20th-century international organizations in achieving lasting conflict resolution.<sup id="cite_ref-148" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-148"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>148<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> A League of Nations Commission of Inquiry, with Belgian, Hungarian and Swedish members, was sent to the region in 1924; it found that the people of Mosul did not want to be part of either Turkey or Iraq, but if they had to choose, they would pick Iraq.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEScott1973133_149-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEScott1973133-149"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>149<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In 1925, the commission recommended that the region stay part of Iraq, under the condition that the British hold the mandate over Iraq for another 25 years, to ensure the autonomous rights of the <a href="/wiki/Kurdish_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Kurdish people">Kurdish</a> population.
