what was the purpose of the league of nations? quizlet
The League seemed strong. The League s main strength came from the fact that it was set up by the Treaty of Versailles which had been signed and agreed by the 32 nations. Also, the League had means of influence to force countries to obey it.
The League of Nations lacked an armed force of its own and depended on the Great Powers to enforce its resolutions, which they were very unwilling to do. Its two most important members, Britain and France, were reluctant to use sanctions and even more reluctant to resort to military action on behalf of the League.
