What does /his/ think of the league of nations? >Inb4 /pol/tard

it lacked the capacity to enforce sanctions on rogue states, say what you will about the UN security council being paralyzed to act because of competing interests of major world powers, but the league of nations was 100x worse

It was a different time in geopolitical terms, different context.

It meant well and it did do some good like
>preventing a war between Greece and Bulgaria
>preventing a war between Sweden and Finland
>fighting slavery around the world and stopping it
>improving children's rights and stopping child labour
>fighting disease and striving for medicine, it befriended the USSR because of its somewhat advanced disease prevention research

The league failed when it had to tackle an issue being caused by major world powers like Japan and Italy. It sat by and watched Italy annex Ethiopia and Japan take Manchukuo and then later invade China. Members who got into trouble simply just left and ignored the league and continued. If the US joined then it may have had more sway over powerful members and had been effective in stopping Italian, German and Japanese aggression.

The problem was that another global war was firmly in the interest of the USA.

>>3058796
The US had no power or influence before the second world war.
It was isolated in every way, with a shit military.

>be America
>have to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of fresh-faced American boys to help pathetic Europeans end another in a long history of pointless retarded wars
>literally do more in one year than the rest of the Entente did in the previous three, get shit on for being "late" to conflict they literally had no need to get into
>watch Europeans nearly start several more wars arguing over which bits of Europe they owned because "deez muh borders 400 years ago dey steal" "muh ethnic majority in dis city" etc
>they try to guilt you into joining some retarded "league" that accomplished nothing, failed to stop Germany starting it's second global war only 20-odd years later

t.Japan

>>3058810
I feel like opening up Japan to trade based entirely on the strength of the Navy is a pretty good example of power.

You kinda skipped over the fact that the League of Nations was an America idea than Americans had insisted on, while refusing to take part in it themselves.

Fucking globalist pieces of shit, fuck Wilson and fuck trump too

>preventing regional conflicts is good

>>3058836

they set it up to get European countries to actually practice diplomatic relations so that they maybe could not plunge the entire earth into apocalyptic war (again) every time Germany had an attack of autism that set the rest of them off, why the fuck would they want to have anything to do with Europeans after ww1? The league was a geopolitical creche for retarded babies.

>>3058796

>preventing regional conflicts in the present
>in favour of global wars a bit later on
