How far did weakness in the League's organization make failure inevitable?

-

The new international organization had three main parts: the Secretariat, Assembly and the Council.

From the very beginning the organization of the League had several weakness.

First, it was established by the Treaty of Versailles, The Germans hated the treaty and the Italians and Japanese disliked part of it. so the League was not fully supported.

Second, the Assembly could only make a decision by a unanimous vote, and on the council. All members had a veto. When there was a crisis, it was very hard to agree on what to do. Even when decisions were made the League had no army to enforce them.

Third, The League had no army of its own to ensure its decision were followed through. This was particular importance when the League faced serious challenges in the 1930s from Italy's Abyssinian and from Japan (in Manchuria).
