the league didnt even exist during world war 1, it was formed after it to try and make sure that, a war on that scale would never happen agian
To try and prevent future world wars from occurring. WWI was so terrible that people wanted it to be the "war to end all wars". The Great Depression, the rise of fascism, the failure of the League of Nations to respond to Japan's invasion of Manchuria and China all resulted in the League of Nations failing in it's main goal to prevent another world war.
Yes, a league of nations tried to stop World War II. Many citizens who were not part of government also did not believe in the war efforts.
AnswerThere was an organization called the League of Nations, (or "LON" in short) which was formed after World War 1. Its aim was to prevent wars from taking place and world-wide disarmament. Sadly, the main powers like Britain and France were self-minded, and dealing with Great Powers like Japan, Germany, and Italy were inefficient. Several small countries had solved their disputes, however, because they feared trade embargos with these world powers would adversely affect their economy.When Communists came into power in the USSR (in 1917), the League of Nations banned the USSR, as they feared the spread of Communism. Although the United States started the idea of the LON, the USA did not join because of their isolationism policy.These inefficiencies of the League of Nations led to outbreak of World War 2. Fortunately, in 1946 the League of Nations volunteered to dissolve themselves because the United Nations (or "UN") had formed in 1945. It has gone from 51 founding members to 192 current members. Today, just about every country - including Israel, North Korea, Iran, and Iraq has joined the UN. Currently (as of November 2009), there are only three countries not a part of the United Nations: Kosovo, who gained independence in February of 2008 (but is not internationaly recognised), the Vatican City, who opted not to join, and Taiwan.The issue with Taiwan is a little complicated, but the main problem is representing both the People's Republic of China and Taiwan at the same time.
The US became the worlds first (and only) major superpower and many break away countries were formed like Poland, and Czechoslovakia. The league of nations was also formed to try and succeed in world peace. Germany was economically crippled
