replies: text: Ethiopia was actually a member prior to the Italian invasion, so it should not have the colony marker but instead have the nation marker. The Italian attack on Ethiopia and the League's unwillingness to defend Ethiopia (but willingness to supply Italy) was one of the biggest markers of the League's failure as an organization.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.220.115 (talk) 07:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

message: An edit late last year added some incorrect information about the expulsion of Finland. Finland was never expelled from the LoN, and certainly not for "aggression against the USSR". Apart from the editor's unverifiable 'source', there is no other evidence for this claim. A primary LoN document dated from 1944, hosted on a university website, includes Finland on the list of membershttp://digital.library.northwestern.edu/league/le0281az.pdf. It also includes Albania, Denmark and Luxembourg, so I have removed their withdrawal dates as well. Having said that, I did only cursory checks before doing so, so if someone can cite their withdrawals, then fine. (Would a withdrawal under duress/invasion count though? e.g. Free French did not recognise Vichy France's withdrawal. Could those countries' resistance movements have done the same?)  -- Tankman182 (talk) 12:34, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you are correct re. Finland. On the question of who was or was not a member, the League itself should be the ultimate arbitrator. If it listed 'France' as a member, then it was, wherever the recognised government was based. RashersTierney (talk) 14:30, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Czechoslovakia was present at the last meeting of the Assembly in 1946 (see http://biblio-archive.unog.ch/Dateien/1/D5251.pdf for list of attending member states; above cited list from 1944 also mentions Czechoslovakia), so I added it to the respective list (members at end of League). Czechoslovakia never formaly left League until its final dissolution. However, pure legal continuity between pre-war and post-war Czechoslovakia is another question...--Pavlor (talk) 00:17, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Czechoslovakia 

message: A usual problem is the two-standards one. For instance, Austria appears as "ceased to exist" or Czechoslovakia as "occupied (by Nazi Germany)", and the Baltic Republics as "conquered and annexed (by the USSR)", which at the mininum is confuse. The plain fact is all these states ceased to exist to be annexed by others (and of course in the former cases reverted to the original situation sooner), and any of the three chosen sentences can be applied to any of the cases. The difference of course is in the case of Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic or Austria the matter is far away in historical terms, and with the Baltic Republics I imagine the problem is near enough to play a political useful role to many people. But I don't think this was a NPOV, nor useful for the Wikipedia itself.91.117.8.27 (talk) 20:07, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: What solution you propose? Eg. Czechoslovakia ceased to exist in its home territory in 1939, but was later reconstituted as sort-of government-in-exile which gradually gained recognition - even by the League (post-Avenol). As you see membership of these countries is rather complicated...Pavlor (talk) 12:13, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

message: Newfoundland ceased to be a colony of anyone in 1907.  It might have let the UK handle foreign policy, but it was a Dominion, the same status as Canada. Newfoundland did not seek to join the League of Nations, so should be indicated as a nonmember. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 01:43, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Even after 1934 establishment of Newfoundland Commission of Government? Pavlor (talk) 09:20, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

text: I don´t know precise legal aspects of Newfoundland´s Dominion status, but lack of self-government voids comparison to Canada. Question is, was Newfoundland independent enough in view of international law to become member? Note the Dominion of Newfoundland never adopted the Statute of Westminster. On the other hand, British empire had separate membership for India... Pavlor (talk) 15:36, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

message: Hello, can somebody please fix the incorrect status of the Irish Free State, which joined in August 1923, separate from the other Dominions completely, and was not automatically included due to Great Britain's - or the British Empire's - membership in 1920 as is implied by its complete omission?
India was never separately represented, as it was never a Dominion and remained a Colony in all but name until independence in 1947? The link to some Archive Machine is also wrong regarding its list of states and inductions.
The transitional map also misrepresents these facts.

replies: text: That map is a mess (eg. inconsistency of WW2 changes - Czechoslovakia not included, Poland included). As of India, membership and representation are two different concepts. What changes you have in mind? Pavlor (talk) 09:06, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
